On March 18, 2021, we had our first CABL meeting of 2021. While it was virtual it was wonderful to see so many online plus celebrate the publishing of Michael Kronenfeld’s book – he gave us a wonderful presentation about his book. Minutes from the meeting have been posted and a recording was made, please email Janice or one of the board for the login info.
He has been awarded the Janet Doe Lectureship for 2022 and it will be at MLA 2022. https://www.mlanet.org/blog/2021-awards,-grants,-and-scholarships-recipients?source=5
Also he and his wife co-wrote a “A History of Medical Libraries and Medical Librarianship” https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538118825/A-History-of-Medical-Libraries-and-Medical-Librarianship-From-John-Shaw-Billings-to-the-Digital-Era

Yesterday, June 3, 2020, CABL had it’s 2nd virtual meeting via Zoom. It’s a great way for us to gather and still social distance. Most of us shared how our libraries are doing and who is still working remotely or working from their location. for those that are academic institutions, they discussed how students will be using their resources.
Keep an outlook for an email from Janice Hermer how to watch yesterday’s MLA webcast Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Peer Review: For Reviewers and Authors.
Here are some pictures of the June 3, 2020 CABL meeting.
RNs have been experiencing severe shortages in personal protective equipment (PPE) as they work on the frontlines to provide vital care to COVID-19 patients. Tell your member of Congress to do everything possible to increase PPE distribution and prioritization to health care personnel! #GetMePPE
Information is coming to the attention of ANA of nurses being forced to take such drastic measures as reusing masks or making their own from available materials in their facilities – creating unsafe conditions for both nurses and their patients. This is unacceptable, RNs continue to work on the frontlines of this outbreak and should have the equipment needed to safely do their job.
We know RN’s are working around the clock, however personalized letters have an even greater impact – if you or someone you know has been treating patients with COVID-19 or has COVID-19 and has time to share to share the story, please consider doing so in your note to your legislator.
Happy 2020 everyone!! It’s the start of a new decade and CABL continues on into our 45th year!

CABL members spent part of October 30 at the Taliesin West Library with a very special behind the scenes tour. Elizabeth has been the librarian there since 1986 and established the library and archives. It was an amazing day listening to her stories about various people she’s worked with plus how one librarian makes a difference!
