October is Medical Librarians Month

Happy Medical Librarians Month! Something we know you’ve all been waiting for ?.

In 1997, the Medical Library Association declared October the month of the medical librarian to celebrate and raise awareness of the important work they do. How do your health sciences librarians help, you ask? Oh, let me count the ways we support you:

  • Finding reliable, trustworthy, and evidenced-based literature for projects, big or small
  • Consulting and teaching on effective searching and research; we’ll give you the tips and tricks of the trade
  • Providing the resources you need, whether it be journals, books, etc.
  • Identifying where to publish and tracking the impact of your work
  • Creating guides to make finding the information you need faster

We want to be your first stop on the research journey! We are here for you.

Thank you for letting us do what we love.
