In 2013, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) launched its Circulating Now blog to convey the vitality of medical history in our twenty-first-century world. The idea involved welcoming individuals to share stories of their engagement with the NLM collection—which spans eleven centuries, encompasses a variety of digital and physical formats, and originates from nearly every part of the world—as well as stories of the human condition preserved in this vast corpus. A decade on and with hundreds of posts published, Circulating Now has demonstrated the public’s esteem for the NLM collection and has been recognized by The Washington Post as "varied, lively and sometimes surprising." This book is an open access, edited collection of curated posts from Circulating Now. Its introduction presents the strategic conception and impact of the blog as a dynamic library and management resource. Six thematic chapters follow, each copiously illustrated and introduced with a new and original essay describing the content development and reflecting on the programmatic and intellectual significance of the selected posts. This book brings Circulating Now full circle in the twenty-first-century publishing ecosystem, creating a new access point for researchers and augmenting the original blog as a deep knowledge base of searchable information about the Library and its collection. Preserved in the NLM collection and circulating to new readers, Circulating Now, Full Circle will testify in perpetuity to the Library’s timeless stewardship of its globally appreciated collection and its public service to the world.
