The Office of Advanced Technologies and Information Systems (ATIS) develops, integrates and applies new technologies into the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's library services. Specifically, we:

  • Install, configure and maintain the library's workstations, database applications, interfaces, and servers (Unix and NT).
  • Develop software to support dynamically generated web pages using CGI, Perl, JAVAScripts, JAVA applets/servlet, ColdFusion, ASP, etc.
  • Design and develop database gateways, agents and brokers to mediate information transfer and integrated delivery.
  • Maintain the Welch Medical Library's web services and portal system.
  • Examine and evaluate web technologies for subsequent inclusion into the Welch Medical Library's web development platform.
  • Work with other technical staff, graphic artists, media designers, subject matter experts and other members of the JHMI community to develop other WWW-based application systems as needed.
  • Maintain the instructional technology platform in the library's educational facilities.
