Health Care Institutions


The licensing institution is most involved with MedInfoNOW while Doody Enterprises is building a customized version of the service to the institution's specifications. During this development phase, library staff must provide Doody Enterprises with:

  • graphics of the institution's brand and logo;
  • a list of recently published or classic books written by the institution's faculty;
  • a "default" profile reflecting typical specialty interests in the book literature and topical interests in the journal article literature of its constituents.
  • institutional IP addresses to which the MedInfoNOW site will be secured.


Once the site has been launched to members, the most successful institutional sponsors use the Knowledge Manager Web site to:

  • post news and announcements of interest to its constituents to run in the Weekly Literature Update;
  • refine the list of faculty book titles the institution wants to highlight at the Web site;
  • monitor usage of the services.


Doody Enterprises provides the institution with semiannual written reports documenting the institution's constituents' usage of the service.
