MHSLA, the Michigan Health Sciences Libraries Association is having their annual conference in Bay City at the Doubletree Hotel, from September 26-28. I had the pleasure of working at the MLC table on Thursday. And enjoyed meeting with many of our MLC members.

Well, while enjoying my wonderful taco bar lunch we were treated to an interesting presentation by Linda Draper of Wayne State University’s Shiffman Medical Library. Wayne has a partnership with the National Library of Medicine to connect health consumers to local information. This is accomplished with a great resource directory called Michigan Go Local. If you’re looking for health services you can search this local directory by: health issue, location, including zip, city, and county plus you can search for specific health services. As usual MLC member libraries are always up to something good.
