As someone interested in a health information career but not an MLA member, what professional development resources are openly available? Identify a key publication, a career support resource, and a major annual event. For each, describe what it offers and confirm 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.
State that the 'Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA)' is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal. State that 'Career Resources' are 'FOR THE PUBLIC' and provide information on roles, salaries, educational requirements, and career tips. State that the 'MLA Annual Conference' offers professional development, networking, and presentations, and is available to 'members and others'.
