About the Medical Library AssociationMLA Disclosure PolicyDisclosure policies, standard practice in associations and in academic environments, help ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in decision making. The Medical Library Association Board of Directors in September 2004 adopted a disclosure policy for MLA, which asks that
disclose any significant financial or other relationships they have with organizations or companies that wish to do or are doing business with MLA or which offer products or services related to the interests of MLA or its members. The full disclosure policy and disclosure statement form is available for download (PDF, 36KB); members can submit the statement form to headquarters. MLA requests that everyone in the groups mentioned above comply with the policy and self-report any relationships. Disclosure statements will be kept on file at MLA headquarters and the information only released to affected parties. In the case of instructors and authors, for example, relevant business relationships will be published in the Preliminary Program or in the author's publications. Instructors and authors will have the opportunity to approve the wording of the published statements.
