Check out the new NN/LM – New England Region lending library! The lending library includes core resources such as: the proceedings of Medical Library Association conferences from 2000 to the present, as well as MLA webcasts and teleconferences. Did you miss the MLA webcast on Web 2.0 or strategies to promote your library’s value? Would you like to view them and receive MLA CE units? Here is your opportunity. You may borrow the webcasts and request a participant manual from the program as well. We will send you an evaluation form to complete after viewing the program. When you return the evaluation form to us, we will send you MLA CE units.

The NER’s lending library’s collection includes resources to help you stay updated on the latest trends in health sciences librarianship including important issues like:

· answering consumer health questions

…and much more!
