Meeting, AZHIN contract

MLA Chapter Meeting
Several folks from AHSL are attending the joint meeting of two regional chapters of the Medical Library Association in Glendale, AZ. Mary Riordan, Brooke, Jacque and Lindsey all worked on various committees to organize this meeting. Clinical Education Librarians Becky Birr and Kathy Zeblisky are co-chairs of the entire meeting and Lora Robbins and April Aguinaga have also worked on committees. We also have several people presenting papers and posters. Jeanette presented both a paper and a poster, on behalf of her several co-authors from other libraries, reporting on our collaboration with the other libraries of the Tribal Connections Four Corners project. Annabelle presented a paper, on behalf of her co-author Martha Moore-Monroy from the U of A, on Information and Outreach about HPV and the HPV Vaccine. Jacque, Lindsey and Kathleen Carlson of ASU (one of our Clinical Education Librarians) presented a paper on the challenges of developing a new library. Carol presented a paper, on behalf of her co-authors Pat and Gary, on our process of supervisor evaluation.

AZHIN Contract
Sponsored Projects approved the AZHIN administrative contract this week. Although expected, this is always good news. AZHIN will pay the library over $100,000 during 2010 to handle its administrative and technical affairs; the amount includes salaries, technical support, travel, and various miscellaneous items. This is the 12th year that the library has managed this account.
