National Medical Librarians Month
National Medical Librarians Month was created by the Medical Library Association 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.
As part of this annual event, The Academic Center / Library will be hosting the following events to highlight library programs and services including:
Library Exhibit- The Academic Center / Library will be in the Stroger Hospital cafeteria from 11:30-2:00 p.m. on Thursday October 5, 2006 to give the Stroger Hospital community the opportunity to learn about the latest services in the library. Stop by for freebies, handouts, brochures, etc.
Health Presentation - The Academic Center /Library is pleased to present Fit to a T @ your library. Fit to a T is a public education program developed by members of the U.S. Bone and Joint Decade (USBJD) in response to the Surgeon General's first-ever report on bone health and osteoporosis.
In partnership with the Public Library Association and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine this education program is called "Fit to a T" because the T-score is the measure of a person's bone density and susceptibility to fragility fracture.
