Introducing MLA's (NEW) Hospital Library Advocacy Tool Kit



I recently stumbled upon Hospital Library (HLC) Advocacy Tool Kit.  This was created by MLA's Hospital Library Caucus, and remakes the earlier Values Tool Kits.  

Take a look -- I'm sure you'll find some useful things here!


The (new) Hospital Library Advocacy Tool Kit was created to focus MLA's Hospital Library advocacy efforts in one place.  Content / topics include the following:

  • Establish standards of practice for hospital libraries, librarians, and admins.
  • Resources for New Hospital Librarians
  • Promote Hospital Librarians & Libraries
  • Provide Advocacy Tool Kit and Resources, including 
    • Standards-of-practice
    • Education
    • Advocacy Statement
  • Deliver evidence-based guidance
    • Timely evidence-based resources and services to admins to improve quality and patient safety

There's a lot of great stuff here covering such topics as: 

  •     Library as Hub / Library as Place
  •     Dazzling Stakeholders
  •     Excellence in Librarianship
