Our Purpose
The African American Medical Librarian’s Alliance
SIG is committed to providing leadership and support on issues
such
as recruiting and retaining diverse librarians, developing mentoring
and leadership for minority librarians, and creating a repository
of information on the expert skills and special abilities of minority

Our role is to help all medical librarians and information professionals

African-American Medical Librarians Alliance is a Medical Library
Association (MLA) Special Interest Group (SIG). SIGs are ad

groups open to all members of the association. SIGs range from
a series of informal meetings on a specific, short-term issue
to an established subgroup within an MLA section. |
