The GMR is celebrating a member-focused approach to supporting the network by releasing a webpage devoted to advocacy. Here you will find links to advocacy tools from the Medical Library Association (MLA), the American Library Association (ALA), and the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL). You can request a class on the topic of evaluation, “Measuring Your Impact”. We have gathered a list of print materials included in our Lending Library. We have mounted the Super Librarian do-it yourself resources along with educational supplements and other promotional items.

October is National Medical Librarians Month. We want you to be prepared.

The GMR Office loves to promote opportunities for librarians to hone their skills. In this instance we have created a vehicle for you to do just that. The Professional Development Award allows a library professional to develop their skills in a manner that will later support their library and ultimately the users. (more…)
