This survey was developed in collaboration with the Regional Medical Library (RML) to better understand information use patterns of the WSMA membership and to assess needs for training about National Library of Medicine (NLM) resources. Below are a few points from the survey results: Congratulations to PNR Awardees and SubcontractorsFriday, July 11th, 2008On May 1, 2008, the Regional Medical Library for the Pacific Northwest Region began the third year of the 2006-2011 contract.
