Learn how legislative issues affect the way librarians provide information and information services. The phases of the project, the project status, and the reasons why librarians need to participate in the project will be discussed. The MLA Benchmarking Initiative was started to help define, develop, and evaluate a coordinated and comprehensive Web-based medical library benchmarking tool that will enable members to establish best practices, compare important operations, and define appropriate statistics for negotiating with administrators. The MLA Benchmarking Task Force Steering Committee members will answer questions in a fifteen-minute session following the presentation. Project Director Valerie Florance, Ph.D., AHIP, AAMC, Washington, DC, will seek additional input for and share findings from the recent Delphi studies.
Time is set aside for audience questions and suggestions.
