New, Improved Access NLM Reinvents Information Products, Customer Service By Carla Garnett (This is another story in a summer-long series on "Reinventing Government" projects at NIH.)
Jane Doe, a science writer for the local paper, is at her office computer writing
about rare neurological disorders when she decides to elaborate on a somewhat
unfamiliar term: hydrocephalus. She clicks once to send her article-in-progress to
the bottom of the screen and clicks again to launch her WWW browser. Seconds
later, she finds a list of the more than 1,400 journal articles written in the last 3
years on hydrocephalus staring her in the face. She clicks on the first underlined
title and scans the abstract that appears. She's spent a little over a minute and a
little less than $1.
Civil War Re-enactor By Laura Bradbard

Dr. Jim Minor, CC pharmacist and Civil War history buff, participates in Civil War battle reenactments authentically dressed
as Confederate Army private.
