October is National Medical Librarians' Month

Medical Librarians: Your Ultimate Search Engine

Perhaps you haven't visited the Affinity Health Science Libraries or met your Affinity Librarians. Maybe there is a way we can help you and you don't realize it yet.

Stop by the libraries at Mercy Medical Center or at St. Elizabeth Hospital and meet your librarians. Let's figure out how we can make your work (and life) easier.

For information or directions to either library, call Michele Matucheski (MMC) 3-0340 or Margo Lambert (STE) 8-2325.

We look forward to seeing you!
