    Need and Use of Information Collection: In 1994, the NLM was 
designated a ``Federal Reinvention Laboratory'' with a major objective 
of improving its methods of delivering information to the public. At a 
minimum, necessary elements in improving the delivery of information 
include: (1) Development of easy-to-use access and delivery mechanisms 
that promote the public's understanding of health information, drawing 
on research in lay terminology, graphical and multimedia presentations; 
(2) assisting those providing health information to the public to make 
effective use of electronic services through internet connections, 
training, and other means, with an emphasis on those serving minority 
groups, low income populations, and seniors; (3) promoting integrations 
of NLM services with other electronic services covering regional, 
state, or local health information; and (4) conducting and supporting 
research, development, and evaluation of the public's health 
information needs, information seeking behavior and learning styles, 
information systems that meet the public's needs, and the impact of 
access to information.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 750.
