Introduction
The National Institutes of Health Library and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Office of Communications and Government Relations (OCGR) are collaborating on the creation of a 'Pandemic Influenza Digital Archives'.
This collaborative web site will showcase Dr. David Morens' core collection of several thousand scholarly publications spanning the 9 th century AD to the present on various aspects of all pandemics and large scale epidemics, especially the 1918 pandemic influenza. Using the open source software Drupal, we are creating a world-class pandemic influenza digital archive, serving the needs of virologists and researchers around the world.

About the NIH Library
This is accomplished by:
providing desktop/workbench access to relevant journals, books, reference sources, and database/Internet resources;
providing access to over 20 information professionals to assist with standard or more personalized services;
providing a quiet place to read, write, or study
The NIH Library, centrally located on the Bethesda campus in Building 10, serves the information needs of NIH and selected HHS agencies, through a comprehensive range of information resources, services, and knowledge.

About NIAID
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) conducts and supports basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases. For more than 60 years, NIAID research has led to new therapies, vaccines, diagnostic tests, and other technologies that have improved the health of millions of people in the United States and around the world.

About the Pandemic Flu Collection
Collected by Dr. David Morens
Focused on the epidemiology, etiology,
diagnosis and treatment
Over 5,000 items collected – add’l 5,000 identified
Include journal articles, statistical data, email correspondence, books and book chapters, bibliographies, reviews, abstracts, & newspapers

Moving Towards Drupal
Purchased a server and Acquia support – Nov. 2008
Hired Information Architect – March 2 nd
Brought into PIDA project – April 3 rd
Scheduled on-site Drupal install – May 13 th
First prototype shown – May 28 th
NIAID committed to go with Drupal
NIAID/NIH rescoping PIDA effort in light of new capabilities

Building the Digital Archive
Build a database of records:
Search to build initial database
Match against physical collection
Enhance the database records
Wrap additional services around this collection:
Create a Web site “home” for the archive
Provide collaboration tools
Partner with other organizations

Drupal modules using
Biblio (scholarly publication management)
Browscap/Mobile Tools (to provide handheld support)
CCK/Views (to support event/meeting calendar, etc)
Entrez (to import from PubMed to Biblio)
Gmap (to support mapping)
LDAP/Active Directory (integration with single sign-on)
Taxonomy (to support ad hoc and structured term lists)
Timeline (to dynamically plot by timeframe)

Future Plans
Clustering results by location on a map or by date on a timeline
Local, full text searching of all publications in collection
MyLibrary functionality to mark records, save them into sets, and share those sets with others
Multilingual search
