On April 21, 2005, HealthLINE (the Dallas/Fort Worth association of medical librarians) and the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of North Texas will present a panel discussion on improving cooperation between medical libraries and library schools. HealthLINE is honored to have as members of the panel M.J. Tooey (Incoming President of Medical Library Association and Executive Director of Health Sciences and Human Services Library at the University of Maryland, Baltimore) and Roger Guard (Immediate Past Chair of the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries and Chief Information Officer, University of Cincinnati School of Medicine). The Deans of the UNT and TWU graduate library schools along with their faculty in medical librarianship will also participate. Deb Faber, a recent graduate of the TWU SLIS now working as a medical librarian, will complete the panel. Brian Bunnett will moderate. The discussion will address the future of medical librarianship, the education needed, and cooperation between library schools and libraries which employ medical librarians.
A short HealthLINE business meeting will begin at 9 am with the panel following at 10 am and ending at 12:15. After the program, a networking lunch will be offered. A sandwich bar, with salads and brownies, will cost $10.00, drinks included. At the lunch, HealthLINE will offer roundtable discussions between medical librarians and library students.
