We will start the afternoon off with our General Business Meeting, and then follow up with our program, which will be a panel discussion with local librarians that have experience in Systematic Reviews.  This should be a wonder discussion to help anyone interested in getting more involved in Systematic Review work in their organization, or for those that are interested in learning more about Systematic Reviews. 

Here is our registration form; please fill this out if you plan to attend. Additionally, if you are interested in participating in the panel, please note that here! We still have availability if you would like to be involved in the discussion.  We also have a section where you can include any questions you may have for the panel.

Please join us for the general business meeting and winter program on February 12, from 1:00p-3:00p. There will be a brief general business meeting to start and the program will follow. The program will be a pre-recorded webinar from NNLM Region 7 followed by a discussion.

Hospital Librarians Going Virtual:

In this webinar an interactive panel explores the realities of virtual library services in a hospital environment. Panelists will define what virtual library service looks like in their organizations, discuss challenges related to professional development and staff morale while working remotely, and exchange strategies for promoting library services in a virtual context. This webinar offers practical insights for adapting library work in a digital landscape that applies to both hospital and academic librarians.
