My department works with vendors to organize trainings applicable for librarians and/or library patrons. Our hope is that by helping our librarians understand how to best use each product, we are better able to help our patrons.

Finding qualified, well-trained medical librarians is key to maintaining excellent services and remaining relevant to our institutions.
One current challenge faced by librarians is recruiting and retaining new librarians, which includes making a real effort to diversify the profession.
