The Medical Library Association (MLA) created the observance of National Medical Librarians Month every October to raise awareness about the important role of the health information professional. Many HSL staff will present research findings about improving and expanding our roles and services at the Mid-Atlantic Chapter meeting of the MLA October 9-11 in Baltimore. More details to come in the next issue of HSL e-news.
Part of commemorating National Medical Librarians Month includes recognition of the work of medical librarians associated with the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM). NC Health Info's Military & Families Health Collection received the honor of being selected as one of the featured websites for the Southeastern/Atlantic region of NNLM. Developed by medical librarians in collaboration with the Citizen Soldier Support Program and the NC Governor's Focus on Returning Combat Families and their Families, the collection can be accessed here: http://nchealthinfo.org/health_topics/people/military/MilitaryFamilies.cfm
