The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) is committed to providing excellent health information services to its faculty and students, and to the practitioners of Northern Ontario. As such, on February 1st, 2008, the Health Information Resource Centre (HIRC) and the Northern Ontario Virtual Library (NOVL) will merge operations to form the Northern Ontario Health Information Network (NOHIN). The creation of NOHIN enables the current health information services and resources, enjoyed by both NOVL and HIRC users, to be streamlined. Access to resources remains unchanged.
