How Will You Observe National Medical Librarians Month?

Hard to believe we’re already mid-month, which means October and NMLM is quickly approaching! The NMLM recognition is our opportunity to spotlight the essential contributions of health information professionals. While our work makes a difference every day, National Medical Librarians Month provides a dedicated time to raise awareness, celebrate accomplishments, and remind our organizations of the value we bring to healthcare, education, research, and patient care.

We encourage you to embrace this year’s theme: “Medical Librarians: Trusted Expertise in Times of Change” by sharing stories of impact, highlighting your services, and demonstrating how your expertise helps others navigate an increasingly complex information environment. MLA will soon release digital assets to support the theme, such as a poster (which you can download and customize with your contact information) as well as email signs and more!

Get ready to make the most of National Medical Librarians Month, and the months that follow, by confidently showcasing the skills, expertise, and impact you bring to your institution every day.
