Historical Note

In 1965 Biology and Medicine Information became a unit within the Department of Information Services with Charles R. Downs as editor. The subject emphasis was shifted to Medicine and Health in 1973 with the appointment of Nancy Houston as editor. Medicine and Health Information ceased to exist as a separate unit in 1978. By the mid-1980s, information dealing with medicine and health was reported by the News Bureau, a division of University Relations.
