As someone interested in health information professions but not an MLA member, I want to find out what professional development resources and opportunities are publicly available. Identify a key publication, a career support resource, and a major annual event, describing what each offers and confirming its accessibility to non-members.
Navigate to the 'Resources' section. Identify the 'Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA)', describe its offering, and confirm its public accessibility. Identify 'Career Resources', describe its offering, and confirm its public accessibility. Navigate to the 'Meetings & Events' section. Identify the MLA Annual Conference, describe its offering, and confirm its public accessibility. Synthesize the findings for all three categories.
Identify the 'Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA)' as an open-access, peer-reviewed journal. Identify 'Career Resources' as providing information on the profession, roles, salaries, and tips. Identify the 'MLA Annual Conference' as offering professional development, networking, and presentations. Explicitly state that JMLA is 'open access' or publicly available. Explicitly state that 'Career Resources' are 'FOR THE PUBLIC' or publicly available. Explicitly state that the 'MLA Annual Conference' is available to 'members and others' or publicly available.
