Abstract: The University of Maryland Campus for the Professions is now realizing the first benefits of integrated academic information management systems (IAIMS). With the support of the National Library of Medicine, the Information Resources Management Division has joined with the Health Sciences Library to plan and to implement change. Within the Information utility concept, networked data communications and end‐user computing function as the means to integration. Plans call for new 370‐based software to extend system capabilities. Mechanisms for outreach ensure that the potential of integration is realized. These mechanisms include technology assisted learning centers, informatics program development, special programs (geriatrics, hypertension pilot), and new applications (conferencing system, voice mail, videodisc development, interinstitutional resource sharing). © 1988 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
