Hey #canmedlibs and #medlibs are any of you providing disclaimer-type notices on your LibGuides or in your teaching sessions about the reliability and currency (or lack thereof) of US health resources right now (e.g. NIH, CDC, etc.)?

UMFA past-president Orvie Dingwall stands at a table with UMFA pins and flyers. She is wearing an UMFA tshirt.

UMFA is at Bannatyne campus today too! Find us in the Brodie Atrium from 12-2pm. Grab a sticker and an info flyer. Be sure to scan the QR code to send a letter to UM President Benarroch and the Chair of the UM Board of Governors to tell them UMFA’s working conditions are important to you! #umfa2025
