Hospital Library Services Program: Hospital Services

Hospital Library Services Program services and opportunities from SCRLC

Purpose

The mission of the Hospital Library Services Program is to support evolving information needs of regional health care professionals by providing health and medical information resources, helping hospital libraries to meet their service goals, and offering continuing education and training opportunities.

 

We created a Niche Academy program about HLSP at SCRLC so you can check out an overview of our program including the history, guidelines and our approach to HLSP.  Also ready is a Niche Academy program on our Lunch and Learn series and includes the recordings of all programs that have been recorded.  We are working on Niche Academy programs that provide details about individual HLSP services we provide to the HLSP members.  Please return regularly as we work to upload those into this space.
