Have you hugged your medical librarian today?

The Medical Library Association (MLA) created the NMLM observance to raise awareness of the important role of the health information professional. Patients and those in the health care community need the specialized services that medical librarians provide now more than ever before.

The Veterinary Medical Libraries Section of MLA is one of the most active and engaged sections!
