University of Wyoming Libraries will partner with the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library (EHSL) at the University of Utah to implement a five-year, $10 million cooperative agreement from the National Library of Medicine (NLM).
The award solidifies EHSL’s national distinction as a regional medical library (RML), one of only seven in the nation. Since 2001, EHSL has served as the RML for Region 4, which encompasses Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. UW Libraries will serve as a subsite, continuing its 20-year support of the RML program.
The renewed cooperative agreement will focus on improving access to quality health information, giving special attention to underserved communities.
