The Medical Library Association (MLA) and Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries have recommended that the National Library of Medicine receive at least $412,097,000 in FY 2018. In their May 22nd statement to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education & Related Agencies, the associations highlighted new and ongoing services that benefit the public, health and health information professionals.
The MLA/AAHSL statement supports the recommendations made by the Joint MLA/AAHSL Legislative Task Force during their April 19th Capitol Hill meetings.
