As a recipient of MLA-Phil’s professional development award, which helped me attend the Quad meeting, I’m happy to write this brief recap of my meeting experience. This is not an official chapter response, or a chapter Chair report – it’s just my personal perspective!
Overall, I would say the themes of the meeting for me were culture and connection. (I’m tempted to add “change” too, but change is so constant, it hardly seems worth mentioning – but we do have to talk about it, all the time!)
Are you working on research or an educational activity? The HLS/MLA Professional Development Grants award encourages continuing education opportunities allowing members to learn new skills or develop specializations and/or expanding the role of the medical librarian. The Hospital Libraries Section and MLA want to support you! The Professional Development Grants, sponsored by the Hospital Libraries Section and MLA, provide librarians working in hospital and similar clinical settings with the support needed for educational or research activities. This award was established in 1996, and up to two awards may be granted each year in the amount of $800 per award. It is preferred that applicants be a member of the Hospital Libraries Section/MLA.
The application deadline is December 1.
A link to the grant application can be found at
http://www.mlanet.org/awards/grants/.
To apply, please email the completed and signed application to MLA headquarters mlapd2@mlahq.org A signed application form must be received no later than December 1, 2012. If you are working on research or an educational activity, please consider applying.
I’m pleased to announce a new award from the Philadelphia Regional Chapter, MLA, to support first-time applicants to the Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP).
