Kudos to Merle Rosenzweig on receiving funding through our office to support two speakers at the upcoming annual meeting of the Midwest Chapter Medical Library Association in Michigan! The topic for each presentation is related to data management, a current initiative of the National Library of Medicine. These presentations are:

• Perspectives in Research Data Management, presented by Kevin Reed & Alisa Surkis
• Data Management for Librarians, presented by Caitlin Bakker

I particularly appreciated the quote from Dr. Patti Brennan, the National Library of Medicine’s new director, that you included in your application, Merle! Great justification for some on-topic presentations.

These speakers were funded through our professional development award, the goal of which is to keep health sciences librarians current on health information topics. Interested in applying? Check out our website!
