the Network of the National Library of Medicine Region 7. Their stories remind us that 
in a world of instantly accessible information, medical librarians serve an important role 
allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care. Listen: https://loom.ly/dvIVlhw

This podcast series explores how the Network of the National Library of Medicine - 
part of the National Library of Medicine - is engaging with communities to provide access 
to trusted information for the purpose of improving the public's health. Listen to the full series.

Very few people know what a medical librarian is or does. You don’t find medical librarians 
portrayed on Chicago Hope, or House, or ER. Hollywood is missing out on some great 
storylines! On this episode of the NNLM Discovery Podcast, Region 7 Education and 
Outreach Coordinator, Margot Malachowski interviews four medical librarians from her region.

Their stories remind us that even in a world of instantly accessible information these 
information navigators serve an important role that allows clinicians to focus their time 
on caring for patients rather than refining searches of medical literature.

The NNLM is the outreach arm of the National Library of Medicine with the mission 
to advance the progress of medicine and improve the public health by providing all 
U.S. health professionals with equal access to biomedical information and improving 
the public's access to information to enable them to make informed decisions 
about their health.
