In honor of MLA's 125th anniversary, we're excited to highlight past NMLM resources! These were introduced in 2021, but the studies cited remain relevant, and we encourage you to continue using them. You can use infographics in several different ways:
- Print it out and post it where your colleagues will see it
- Email it to your colleagues with a message outlining the service you provide
- Post it to social media. Note: MLA is also posting on social media about this infographic; be sure to like and share these posts on your own social media accounts to help raise awareness.
