Robb Mackes, DelMIRA Project Coordinator for the Delaware Academy of Medicine, learned this week that he is the recipient of the Thomson Reuters/Frank Bradway Rogers Information Advancement Award!
Through Robb’s management, DelMIRA (Delaware Medical Information Resource Alliance) provides access to electronic databases, textbooks and journals to all acute care hospitals and four federally qualified health centers in Delaware. DelMIRA was created to “… address the disparity in access to biomedical information and health data that exists statewide and affects all types of health care institutions.”
Robb can add this award to his many accomplishments including the “Librarian of the Year” award he received in 2008 from HSLANJ: the Health Sciences Library Association of New Jersey.
Congratulations Robb!!
Many congratulations, Robb, for a job well done! In your usual, hard working, accomplishment oriented style you have once again demonstrated the best in global thinking and achievement for yourself and your profession
Many, many heartfelt thanks to Maura for posting that message, and to everyone who has sent congratulatory notes. I’m trying to return notes, but I’m afraid I’m bound to miss someone.
I would be remiss if I did not thank PJ Grier, former Director of Library and Information Services at the Academy. DelMIRA is PJ’s brainchild, and without his vision, foresite, and persistence, this program would never have been possible. Thank you to PJ for luring me to Delaware to be part of this fantastic program.
