Membership Drive a Success

The MidContinental Regional Medical Library mailed membership renewal packets to all of our members in December.

Full Network members received packets that included a brochure about the NN/LM membership program, a form to be completed to renew membership, and a questionnaire asking about library staffing levels, computer and internet access, training and outreach activities and opinions about NN/LM services and membership benefits (for the survey results, please see following story).

Affiliate members received packets with the brochure, renewal form, and instructions for reviewing their DOCUSER record. All libraries were asked to sign the agreement form and return it to the RML office in Salt Lake City.

Many, but not all, of our Full members have returned their agreement forms. The RML strongly encourages all members to return their agreement form if they have not already done so. A problem with the return address on the envelope may account for some missed responses, and several libraries reported that they had not received their packets. Please call your state liaison at 1-800-338-7657 if you did not receive a packet, if you feel your response may have been lost due to the return address error, or if you have questions about the materials sent.

Members who have returned their signed membership agreements will receive their membership certificates in the near future. Certificates are ready for framing and can be used to underscore the significance of your library's efforts to promote health information awareness.

Members who have not returned their membership agreements should do so as soon as possible to insure timely receipt of certificates. If you do not have the membership agreement, please call your state liaison at 1-800-338-7657. One will be sent to you by US Mail or as an email attachment. After completing and signing the membership agreement, return it to the RML office at:
