Essential Partners in Healthcare Excellence: MLA Statement Calling on Hospital and Health System Executives to Fund Libraries and Library Staff


I wanted to make sure WHSLA's Hospital Librarians saw this new advocacy paper just released by The Medical Library Association (MLA). 

It discusses the value of health information and the need for hospital and health care execs and stakeholders to partner with Hospital Librarians.

If you download the pdf of the paper, it lists some additional references you can use to prove your worth to your organizations.

How will you use this MLA Statement?  Consider the following:

  • Share it with your executive leadership
  • Share it with your stakeholders
  • Work it into an annual report
  • Add it to your email signature
It's best to build your case in defense of hospital library services long before they are endangered.   Share your ideas with WHSLA!
