Hello to all in the Pacific Northwest Region! My name is Emily Glenn and I am the new Community Health Outreach Coordinator for the NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region. In this position, I will promote awareness and use of NLM resources, particularly for unaffiliated health professionals and the public health workforce serving minority, rural, and underserved communities in our region. I will also be sharing news about factors impacting community healthcare, such as health disparities, the electronic health record, and Accountable Care Organizations. If see me at meetings, exhibits and other events, come by and introduce yourself!
Throughout my career, I have enjoyed supporting researchers, physicians, and students, particularly in the area of collaboration technologies, open access, and publication. For many years, I was a solo librarian at Seattle BioMed, where I was surrounded by research in tropical and neglected infectious diseases and got to learn a ton about sponsored research. During the past year, I led library development in a public medical college and teaching hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where I worked with many local and international partners. Before becoming a librarian, I was a technical services archivist and photographer of herbarium specimens.
I am thoroughly delighted to be a part of the RML and look forward to getting to know you (and getting back in touch with many of you). Please contact me with questions, or just to introduce yourself. Here are several ways to reach me:
