Congratulations AZHIN - Winner

| The Thomson Scientific/Frank
Bradway Rogers Information Advancement Award was awarded
this year to Arizona Health Information Network (AZHIN) for their
strong impact on the delivery of health information in the state
of Arizona. This award recognizes outstanding contributions in the
use of technology to deliver health sciences information, in the
science of information, or in facilitation of the delivery of information.
Health sciences librarians in Tucson and Phoenix incorporated AZHIN
as a non-profit corporation in 1994 to provide MEDLINE and other
electronic resources in health care to health sciences students
and professionals in the state. It has since expanded to provide
a host of electronic resources and educational services to thirty-three
member institutions who are charged on a sliding scale, including
hospitals, small rural health clinics, the Arizona prison system,
county public health departments, telemedicine sites, and academic
institutions. |
