New Interest Group! - Health Sciences

There is a new interest group in MiALA - the Health Sciences Interest Group! There are so many librarians across the state serving pre-med, pre-nursing, pre-vet, allied health, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and a variety of other programs in settings from community colleges to universities. This interest group is intended to be a place for librarians service all those different programs and students to talk about health sciences librarianship. This interest group's description is:
"The Health Sciences IG was created to provide programming, educational opportunities, and professional development for librarians, library staff, library students, and those interested in health sciences librarianship. The Health Sciences IG will serve as a place for librarians from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines to discuss health sciences librarianship and advance and support the goals of health sciences librarianship in the state of Michigan."
As chair of the interest group, I am looking forward to continuing our conversations about health sciences librarianship throughout the state. Many thanks to vice-chair Andrea Kepsel, and secretary Sandy McCarthy for being willing to navigate new waters. Joining the interest group is free to all MiALA members (MiALA membership is $40.00/year). This is a great opportunity to get involved, continue to network with health sciences librarians, and work to group health sciences librarianship in the state of Michigan.
