Michele Matucheski: I caught the following webinar this week, and wanted to share it with anyone interested. The speakers go over some highlights from the forthcoming newly revised Hospital Librarian Standards from the Medical Library Association (MLA) and the newly revised Advocacy Tool Kit, neither of which has been published / released just yet. Something to look forward to!
Webinar: Advocacy and Strategic Planning for the Healthcare Library |
| from May 24, 2022 |
Librarians play a crucial role in healthcare organizations. Your work impacts the entire hospital community, bridging the gap between information, data and practice. Amongst other services, you support your clinicians with evidence-based research so that patients receive the best possible care. Ensuring that the wider healthcare community is aware of your value is critical to receiving ongoing resources and support for your medical library.
In this webinar, join leading librarian speakers from the healthcare community as they share advocacy initiatives at their own libraries and outline how they're evolving in response to current issues to better support their users.
