| Collection Equity Award | North Haven Memorial Library | The North Haven Memorial Library has been weeding older/outdated material and working on a full collection audit, with a special emphasis on diverse and inclusive material. Through our analysis, we found that we have a large gap in diverse health-related books, which is apparent in all three of our departments - Children’s, Young Adult, and Adult. As stated in the NNLM’s mission, we would like the North Haven Memorial Library to be able to offer a current and relevant collection that will advance the progress of medicine and improve the public health by providing all U.S. health… | |||
| Collection Equity Award | Alice M. Ward Memorial Library | We are building a collection for our young famiies in the area for Maternal Health and Early Family Health. We have slim pickings in our collection for topics like pregnancy, nutrition, literacy, breastfeeding, postpartum issues, child rearing, early childhood markers, neurodiversity, mental health, addiction, trauma and other related topics.

Providing the community with a robust collection of written, audio, and visual resources will create an immersive experience that illustrates the NLM’s mission, while also broadening community awareness of the health information needs of various segments of its members. The award will also be used to provide training to the staff on these issues, ensuring that the community will be well-versed in the nature of these programs and the… | |||
| Collection Equity Award | Icahn School of Medicine at Mo unt Sinai | The Levy Library is a central place for learning and dialogue in the Mount Sinai community. A Collection Equity award would provide an amazing opportunity to invite our students, faculty and staff throughout the Health System to recommend titles and authors so that we can purchase additional print and electronic resources that will impact their lives as learners, care providers, and teachers. While we currently offer print and digital “Special Topics in Medicine” collections which invite our community to learn through access to emerging and historically marginalized voices and… |
