Abstract

The long‐term goal for integrated information management at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions is the creation of a knowledge management environment—a network of databases that an individual would tap as one would one's own memory. An important library component in this emerging environment is WELMED, a general purpose bibliographic database management system that permits the library to distribute its databases and related services to its users through common, customizable interfaces. The characteristics and components of the WELMED system are detailed.
