(via Courtney Pyche, University of Florida)
I am a librarian at the University of Florida’s Health Science Center Library in Gainesville, FL and a member of the Association of College and Research Libraries. I am conducting an anonymous survey with my colleague, Chris Eaton, 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 here.
- Who can participate? Health sciences or hospital librarians who previously worked in public libraries as a librarian
