Vital Pathways for Hospital LibrariansThe MLA Vital Pathways Task Force is charged to review existing data and trends in the status of hospital librarians, collect data on the links between libraries and quality and financial outcomes, and develop an action plan for MLA to use this information to influence hospital decision-makers and key leaders in the health care field. The following resources are a first step in helping hospital librarians communicate with other leaders in their institutions about the true value of librarians and library services. Myths and Truths About Library ServicesDeveloped by the Colorado Council of Medical Librarians (CCML) Advocacy Committee and MLA, 2006. CCML members include: Margaret Bandy, AHIP, Jenny Garcia, AHIP, Stephanie Weldon, AHIP, and Karen K. Wells.

Report a Change in Status of a Hospital LibraryThe Medical Library Association wants to track and respond to major changes that are occurring in hospital libraries. We ask hospital librarians to report both positive and negative changes to their libraries. You may also request that MLA contact the hospital administrator about the change. The information that is reported will be kept confidential; individual librarians and hospitals will not be identified and only aggregate data about changes in hospital libraries will be reported by MLA.
