Did You Know? October is National Medical Librarians Month!

Join us in celebration and raising awareness of the significant role our health information professionals (AKA) librarians contribute to research and medical activities. Check out the Memorial Sloan Kettering Library team who provide evidence-based information to our physicians, nurses, pharmacists, students, and other healthcare professionals across the Center and all our MSK locations. They also support patients and their caregivers when they need reliable cancer information.

This year’s theme, “Yes, we do that!” opens the door and invites our user community to reach out and discover what we do and how we can support their daily work.

If you are curious about how the MSK library staff can support you, feel free to contact me. You can also visit the MSK Library website and start exploring our digital collections, resources, and the services available to you.

Hot off the Press: “Partner with Hospital Librarians to Improve Patient Care”

A statement prepared by the Medical Library Association (MLA) Hospital Library Caucus and Board of Directors was recently released (approved 1/11/2022).

I want to add my voice and support to this statement and advocate the importance and value of hospital libraries, and the role that information professionals play as part of a larger team within the healthcare system.

I would encourage our blog readers to review the full statement and check out the list of endorsers which I hope to see increase over time.

For MSK staff, if you want to learn more about your library and how we support research and evidence-based care to patients, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
