MLA/RTI Value Studies Working Group

Established in 2022

The MLA/RTI Value Studies Workgroup is a small group of search experts working to broaden access to research studies that show the benefits and impacts of libraries and librarians on health sciences library users and the quality of health care.

Library value studies show the positive contributions of health information provided by libraries and librarians in clinical decision-making and patient care, education, and research, including systematic reviews.  

The workgroup is currently working on a rigorous process to update and expand the library value studies for the guide Evidence You Can Use To Communicate Value on the MLANET website.
