HSLIC Annual Report FY2021-22

Executive Summary

This annual report chronicles my first full academic year as Executive Director for the Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC), and every story within its pages exemplifies for me why I wanted to work with this team of amazing individuals. Every aspect of HSLIC is centered around our mission: to advance health and health equity as New Mexico's only publicly accessible health sciences library. We empower evidence-based health care, intellectual discovery, lifelong learning, and engagement with our diverse communities by providing high quality and unique collections; integrated education and programs; and innovative, inclusive spaces.

Even with colleagues as creative and dedicated as HSLIC's employees are, it's hard to believe that in a mere twelve months we accomplished so much. I encourage you to take a look through our stories from the fiscal year 2021/2022 and learn more about how HSLIC plays a key role in the educational, clinical, research, and community engagement missions of the UNM Health Sciences Center.

Each of HSLIC's employees cont ributes to HSLIC's success and helps to advance the health and health equity of all New Mexicans. I could not be prouder to be their colleague.
