URRA GONZALEZ, Pedro A et al. Automation of the library network in Cuban primary health care units. ACIMED [online]. 2005, vol.13, n.3, pp.1-1. ISSN 1024-9435.

The whole process of automation of the libraries of the polyclinics from the primary health care network in Cuba is approached. The health-primary care-information interrelation, its growth and the national need to transform the polyclinics' libraries to take the information available in Infomed to the information units located at the primary health care level, are dealt with. The main activities related to the creation of new libraries in the polyclinics, the equipment and furniture distribution, the human resources training, and the establishment of the guidlines and principles ruling the activity of this type of info institutions in the country, are described.
