Abstract
Enabling health sciences libraries to face emergencies with minimal loss of service continuity for their library patrons is a key initiative of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM). Dan Wilson and Susan Yowell from the University of Virginia Claude Moore Health Sciences Library were funded by NN/LM to coordinate the development of resources and training materials that could be used to assist network member libraries nationwide with planning for emergency preparedness and recovery. This article describes key results of the development, including the “10 Steps to Service Continuity” plan and the accompanying online toolkit.
This project has been funded in whole or in part with Federal funds from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, under Contract No. N01-LM-6-3502 with the University of Maryland Baltimore. The authors would like to thank the NN/LM Network Office, Directors, and Associate Directors, the NN/LM Outreach Evaluation Resource Center, and all the NN/LM staff and network members who contributed valuable knowledge and insight in the development of the NN/LM Emergency Preparedness & Response plan.
