Title of Collaborative Activity:

Full-text health-related documents at NLM (includes HSTAT) Bookshelf/Digital Repository

Description of Collaborative Activity:

The National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health provides a free, web-based resource of full-text documents that provide information on health-care decision making. The nature of the collaboration is via Bookshelf, through NLM Literature Archive agreements and additional clauses in Inter-Agency Public Access agreements, to make the full text of various federal government grey literature, such as systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, assessments, and technical reports, publicly available through the Bookshelf product. Bookshelf also manages the Health Services/Technology Assessment Texts (HSTAT) collection of health services research documents. Bookshelf is the point of contact to federal agencies in making their new and updated documents publicly accessible.
