ACRL University Libraries Section Members,
I am a librarian at the University of Florida's Borland Library in Jacksonville, FL and a member of the Medical Library Association. I am conducting an anonymous survey with my colleague, Courtney Pyche, on the experiences of public librarians who have transitioned to roles in health sciences or hospital libraries as well as which professional development tools have been most helpful to them. The results will help to inform the profession on ways to prepare public librarians for careers in health sciences or medical/hospital librarianship. The results may also be used in publications/presentations at national meetings and/or academic institutions. This research study has been approved by the University of Florida IRB Protocol #: ET00021915. You can take the survey now. Please note that your participation or non-participation in completing the survey will have no impact on your access to services, membership, or how you are treated.
