History

Hong Kong International MEDLARS Centre (HKIMC) was established in 1996 at Li Ping Medical Library under the joint support of the Faculty of Medicine and the University Library System of the Chinese University of Hong Kong to provide a one-stop document delivery service for the health professionals of the world at large and the Asia Pacific Region in particular as a regional biomedical information resource centre.

MEDLARS (MEDical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System) is the computerized system of databases and databanks offered by the US National Library of Medicine (NLM). It comprises over 40 online databases containing about 18 million references, including the popular MEDLINE. NLM has set up 22 International MEDLARS Centres outside the United States through bilateral agreements with public institutions nominated by the most senior health officials of the respective country. This Centre is the 20th of such centre.
