Library and Information Resources analysis and appraisal, 1994

The Biomedical Information Communication Center (BICC) Records documents the planning, construction, and promotion of the innovative building, as well as ongoing operations and celebrations. Spanning from 1981 to 2016, the collection consists of committee and group meeting minutes and related documentation, schematic designs and blueprints, photographs of the construction process and people who worked in the BICC, library training materials, staff newsletters, Oregon Health Information Online (ORHION) manuals and information, OHSU Medline reports and information, and Integrated Academic Information Management System (IAIMS) records. Some materials provide information about the Biomedical Informatics program and Dr. J. Robert Beck’s early involvement.

Materials in this collection also include publicity material on the construction of the building, and conferences and programs that surround the planning and opening of the BICC. This collection contains extensive materials on the activities that document the planning, opening, and promotion of the new building. In 1996, the BICC celebrated its 5th anniversary and in 2016 its 25th anniversary; coverage of both is included in this collection.
