Dear Add Administrator's Name Here:
October is Medical Librarians Month and I would like to acknowledge your investment in your hospital library.
The services provided by your hospital library contribute to quality care, patient safety, and informed decisions for mission critical functions of your organization, including:
- Evidence-based clinical practice
- Patient and family education
- Risk management
- Staff education and development
- Market research and competitive intelligence
As such, your hospital library ensures access to credible, reliable and cost-effective resources that help generate revenue and control operating expenses.
Your hospital library is a member of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM), a federally funded program sponsored by the National Library of Medicine, an agency in the National Institutes of Health. The Network shares articles and resources, resulting in increased access to information for your health care professionals. Through the Network, funding is made available to hospital libraries for projects that increase knowledge and ability for finding, evaluating, and using health information.
On behalf of the NN/LM in the Pacific Northwest Region, I would like to underscore the return on investment you are receiving from your hospital library. Congratulations on providing its continued support.
Sincerely,
Sherrilynne Fuller, PhD
Director
Health Sciences Libraries and Information Center;
