National Medical Librarians Month is Almost Here
October is National Medical Librarians Month, as declared by the Medical Library Association.
This year’s theme, “Medical Librarians: Your Best Return on Investment”, highlights medical librarians as the best and most cost effective way to obtain quality health information.
To recognize Medical Librarians Month, NN/LM PNR is sponsoring a contest to find out what emerging and new roles librarians in our Region are undertaking. Tell us what you have done in your institution, or what you plan to do, in order to remain vital and assist with the mission of your organization. We are interested in learning about your activities with patient education, electronic health records, bioinformatics, data management, clinical effectiveness research, disaster response planning and more. Entries will be judged on creativity, originality and relevance.
Winners will be chosen and will receive a membership to the Pacific NW Chapter of the MLA, a $25 value. Submit your entries by October 31 to Patricia Devine, devine@uw.edu. Winners will be announced in early November and a summary of the entries will be posted on Dragonfly.
