| dc.description.abstract | The Al Maktoum Medical Library (AMML), an arm of Mohammed Bin Rashid
University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU), plays a key role in
supporting students and staff of MBRU as well as the wider healthcare
community, by providing access to high-quality and authoritative information
resources. AMML hosted a library week event on September 23rd - 27th 2018
under the theme ”Discover, Share and Inspire” with both social and library
educational activities. It was a unique approach to conduct a whole week of
activities to engage library users that included students, faculty, staff and
wider healthcare professionals.
Key objectives of the Library Week were to promote the library services and
create awareness of the vital role that library plays in an academic institute.
Preparation started with forming an organizing committee comprising
of library staff, students, and faculty to design the scientific, social and
community engagement programs for the library week. Library collaborated
with leading medical content publishers, library technology providers,
bookshops, regional university librarians, internal and external stakeholders. | en_US |
