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.
