Celebrate National Medical Librarians Month (NMLM)!!
Kick off NMLM using the 2022 theme: Make Better Decisions Faster: Consult Your Health Information Professional. The work of medical librarians should be recognized throughout the year, but October is our official month of observance and celebration. Be sure to take some time, especially in October, to illustrate to those in your institution your value and the positive impact of having a health sciences information professional on staff.
