October is National Medical Librarians Month! This celebration was initiated by the Medical Library Association 25 years ago as “an annual observance that recognizes and appreciates the critical role that health information professionals play in healthcare, research, and education.” Your library liaison is ready to partner with you to get timely, trustworthy, and curated information to support your research, patient care, and teaching.
