If you’re a librarian that works with nurses, please consider responding to this survey. Results will be presented at the Annual Meeting in Chicago:
The NAHRS/MLA Research Committee (Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section of the Medical Library Association) invites all librarians working with nurses, nursing faculty, and/or nursing students in ANY setting to respond to a survey on Librarian Roles in Evidence-Based Nursing Practice. (posting to multiple lists; please excuse duplication)
To take the survey, click on this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=LbVcVHiE2lVWWk5_2br1cNXg_3d_3d Or, use link on the NAHRS website, http://nahrs.mlanet.org/. Once you’ve completed the survey, you won’t be allowed to take it again.
Philadelphia MLA will participate in the 2nd annual library panel series at Drexel, which gives students a chance to learn about a variety of careers. We were there last year, too. GPLLA and SLA will present later in the week.

Register by April 17 for the SLA Philly Chapter’s CE Open Source for Libraries: All Grown Up, presented by Nicole Engard, Open Source Evangelist at LibLime.
Description: “Open Source” - a term you may have heard thrown about at conferences and on mailing lists - but what does it mean? This session will not only define the term “Open Source” but will show librarians exactly how it can be used within their libraries. Learn to separate the myths from the facts, learn about the tools that are available to your libraries and most importantly learn about how open source can free you from the costs associated with many proprietary library products. This session will cover open source alternatives to popular products used in libraries, including, but not limited to an office suite, instant messaging, ILS and web browser.
