October is an opportunity to celebrate and recognize the contributions of Medical and Health Science Librarians (That's us!) who continue to provide specialized library support to physicians, nurses, students, healthcare professionals, patients and consumers wherever we work.
This year’s theme is, Make better decisions faster: Consult your health information professional.
