| The IU School of Medicine and the Polis Center at IUPUI have been named by the National Library of Medicine to develop the nation’s only National Outreach Mapping Center. The new center, which is housed at the medical school’s Ruth Lilly Medical Library, will seek to identify and track the special outreach efforts being made by all types of libraries nationwide on behalf of health-care professionals and consumers. Examples of these outreach efforts include teaching consumers to “quality filter” the Web, supplying information access tools to rural health-care providers or working with local community groups to establish health information centers.
