MLA Awards the Best of 2008

Medical librarians throughout the NN/LM SE/A Region took many of the Medical Library Association’s honors for 2008. Our very own Jan Orick won the coveted Lois Ann Colaianni Award for a hospital librarian who has really made an impact on the Profession. Five librarians were named MLA Fellows and Pat Hammond won a continuing education award. Good work one and all!
