To start off National Medical Librarians Month, the Baugh Biomedical Library on USA’s main campus will display the National Library of Medicine’s traveling exhibit, “Harry Potter’s World: Renaissance Science, Magic, and Medicine.”
The exhibit will be held during library hours Oct. 1 through Oct. 3. A Harry Potter trivia contest with door prizes will be held both at the library and on the library’s website at http://biomedicallibrary.southalabama.edu/.
Throughout the month, medical librarians will raise awareness about the library's services by taking the Biomedical Library to its users at the two USA hospitals and to the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health.
Librarians will demonstrate the library's databases, electronic journals and books, and new mobile technologies. They will also feature consumer health information accessible through the MedlinePlus.gov website, which features over 750 health topics and multiple language capabilities.
The Medical Library Association created the National Medical Librarians Month observance to raise awareness of the important role of the health information professional. Patients and those in the health care community need the specialized services that medical librarians provide now more than ever before.
Please contact the library at medlib@bbl.usouthal.edu or (251) 460-7044 for more information.
