數位革命正逐漸展開將人類資訊資源推向前所未有之轉變，資訊高速公路之進步 更推波助瀾促其發展。 1992 年美國高爾參議員提出數位化圖書館，1993 年 2 月美國總統 柯林頓在矽谷提出國家資訊基礎建設（ NII ）計畫以來， 全世界如火如荼的進行資訊數位 化與網路化之工作。在朝向數位圖書資訊之發展過程中，資源整合之研究與挑戰，是當正視 之問題。 本文主要說明研究建置「醫藥衛生研究資訊網（ Health-Research Information NeTwork-HINT ）」之發展歷程、系統架構與環境、提供資源服務、 資源使用分析評估、發 展影響與未來資源整合發展期望等。希望藉此研究與發展期望，可引領全國相關的醫藥衛生 的研究人員有一個全年無休、無時空障礙之整合性資訊資源，使醫學資訊之利用無城鄉差距 ，並提供醫藥衛生研究與從業相關人員一終身學習之資源、服務與環境。

　　　　　The digital revolution, which changed the way information is stored and used, has acceleraled with the growing popularity of the Internet. The establishment of the digital library and National Information Infrastructure in the U.S. in 1992 and 1993, has further speeded up the spread of digitalization and networking around the world. How to integrate the different kinds of resources and interfaces is an important task of the digital revolution. This paper presents the design and implementation of the Health-Research Information NeTwork-HINT. HINT includes 23 kinds of health science research databases. It is a 24-hour service for researchers and clinicians in Taiwan and has a user friendly interface, and its popularity has been proven over nearly a year of service. In the future, we hope that the system can be delveloped to include more resources and that it can be used by clinicians and researchers world wide. We would like to equally service the researcher and clinician no matter where they located and no matter when they request the service.
