4. Hospital Library Toolkit Hospital Librarian Toolkit Launched - http://guides.nnlm.gov/content.php?pid=287967 Back in January 2010, hospital librarians from the region, SE/A staff, and experts from around the U.S. converged on Baltimore for a Hospital Librarian Summit. The goal was to look at the future of hospital libraries and librarians, with an eye towards how the SE/A could best support them as they face unprecedented challenges. There were many wonderful discussions about multiple aspects of hospital librarianship, and a good deal was accomplished in a very brief time. One of the major outcomes of the summit was a desire to create an updated, dynamic, and useful Hospital Librarian Toolkit. After a long brainstorming session, the various ideas were consolidated into main topics. Participants voted for the topics they felt were most important, and a ranked list was produced. From that list and utilizing SE/A expertise, a plan was devised, which has now come to fruition: Resources for Hospital Librarians In this LibGuide, we have pulled together resources that address the summit topics as well as other areas that have become increasingly important over the past two years. This guide is intended to be both dynamic and collaborative. The world of hospital librarianship is changing rapidly, so this guide will be updated regularly as issues arise. Collaboration is key and input from the region is vital. If you have questions, concerns, additions, deletions, suggestions, or any other ideas on keeping this guide current and vital, please let us know. We thank everyone who has contributed to this guide and look forward to supporting hospital libraries and librarians in this ever-changing world. Please contact David Midyette (dmidyette@hshsl.umaryland.edu) P.J. Grier (pgrier@hshsl.umaryland.edu) or Sheila Snow-Croft (ssnowcro@hshsl.umaryland.edu) with your suggestions and comments.
