Advocacy Information for the New York-New Jersey Chapter
of the Medical Library Association

The Advocacy Committee monitors the progress and development of legislative activities affecting healthcare information and education, health sciences libraries and librarians, and the public we serve. The web site of the Medical Library Association provides extensive information on national issues. To best serve our Chapter constituency, we focus particularly on issues in New York and New Jersey, recognizing that legislative and budgetary issues that affect libraries in general also impact those in the health sciences.
