Congratulations to Robin Siegel! The Asbury Park Press wrote a great story on Robin and her work at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold Township in New Jersey in its April 12, 2007 issue. You can read the story.

New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine has issued a proclamation making April 15 - 21, 2007 Health Sciences Library Week. In his proclamation he states,

“Whereas, the Health Sciences Library Association of New Jersey is celebrating its 35th Anniversary; and

Whereas, the Health Sciences Library Association of New Jersey, composed of health sciences librarians and information specialists, acts as a unified voice and a cohesive force in promoting education, resource sharing and networking to its members, and

Whereas, New Jersey health sciences librarians and information specialists provide physicians, nurses and other health-related practitioners with the vital, accurate and current information they require in order to furnish the highest quality and cost-effective healthcare for all New Jerseyans;

now, therefore, I, Jon S. Corzine, Governor of the State of New Jersey, do hereby proclaim

April 15 through 21, 2007 as Health Sciences Library Week

in New Jersey, and recommend and commend the members of this organization for the oustanding services they provide in helping deliver health care information to the residents of the Garden State.

Congratulations to New Jersey Health Sciences librarians and to the Health Sciences Library Association of New Jersey for its 35th anniversary!

In December 2006 we began online renewals of you, our members. We also took that opportunity to ask you questions about the Middle Atlantic region web site and what services and information you would like to see. Of the 243 libraries that responded to the online renewal form as of the end of February 2007, 62 took the time to offer coments for what the RML site needs. Our top 5 responses were:

• Courses/Continuing Education (20)
• Docline Support (10)
• Grant/Funding Opportunities (8)
• Satisfied (7)
• Information Resources Guidance (6)

Since we received these comments, we’ve added content to our Training & Educational Opportunities page, our Resource Sharing & Document Delivery page and the Funding page. And we’ll be working in the next few months to enhance our Information Resources guidance information, most likely within the Resource Sharing & Document Delivery page. As always, feel free to email us at rml@library.med.nyu.edu or call at 1.800.338.7657. We’re glad to hear from you and we do act on what you tell us.
