N1 - Funding Information:
Dr. Lindberg encouraged the ICMJE to take a global and diverse view of medical information. Several ICMJE members have participated as mentors in the African Journals Partnership Program (AJPP), established in 2004 with funding from NLM and the NIH Fogarty International Center [10]. In 2013, the Ethiopian Journal of the Health Sciences, one of the journals mentored in the AJPP, was invited to join the ICMJE, a testament to Dr. Lindberg’s enduring influence. The NLM remains a member of ICMJE.

N2 - Donald A.B. Lindberg M.D., Director of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) from August 1984 to March 2015, had a remarkable vision for NLM's scope, goals, and function. This vision resulted in many external partnerships and initiatives with the publishing industry, commercial and non-profit, journal editors, and professional organizations. These partnerships ranged from ongoing collaboration and dialogue, such as the NLM Publisher's Committee and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). to the more practical, such as the creation of HINARI and the Emergency Access Initiative (EAI). Dr. Lindberg fostered partnerships outside the NLM to expand the use and reach of Library resources, including MEDLINE and ClinicalTrials.gov to support innovations in the processes that build them, and to improve the quality of biomedical journals. Dr. Lindberg also encouraged the use of technology to enhance medical information and supported the early development of fully interactive publications. Attitudes that contained a measure of skepticism and distrust faded as collaborators came to have a better understanding of both NLM and their partners. This chapter discusses these relationships and accomplishments that NLM achieved working with publishers and other creators and disseminators of medical information under Dr. Lindberg's leadership.
