A Day in the Life of a Medical Librarian in an Academic Family Medicine Department

Abstract

Alex Henigman is the Medical Librarian for the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The university was founded in 1839 in Columbia, Missouri and was the first public university west of the Mississippi River. It is Missouri’s largest public research university. Alex tells us about her role as an embedded librarian in an academic department and provides us with a snapshot of what a typical working day looks like.
