Reach Out in February

Are you interested in going beyond the boundaries of the traditional on-site medical library services that you provide to your primary clientele? If you are, and you want your efforts to make a difference, plan on attending a new one-day course being offered on February 10, at the NCNMLG/MLGSCA 2001 Joint Meeting in San Francisco. Measuring the Difference: Planning and Evaluating Health Information Outreach, taught by Cathy Burroughs and Maryanne Blake, will offer "hands on" experience in the planning and evaluation process of outreach.

This is a good follow-up to the Grant Writer's Toolbox workshop sponsored by PSRML this past spring. It is highly recommended for those who are currently working on projects funded through PSRML subcontracts, or who are planning to apply for outreach funding in the future. More specifics about the course will be available soon at the Joint Meeting website at http://ncnmlg.stanford.edu/JtMtg2001/ce.html.

The article Success with Outreach: Introduction to Planning and Evaluation by Cathy Burroughs, Network Librarian, Evaluation, NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region, provides a good introduction to the topic.

Hope to see you in February!
