The LSUHSC Library celebrated the first-annual Medical Information Day on April 11, 2003. Medical Information Day was created by the Medical Library Association in recognition of "the invaluable information and vast range of services medical librarians provide for their institutions and local communities." The theme for the inaugural celebration was "@sk your Medical Librarian." Here at LSUHSC, Reference Librarians staffed an exhibit located in the Atrium between the Nursing/Allied Health Building and the Medical Education Building, at which they handed out information on Library databases and resources to hundreds of LSUHSC faculty, staff, and students.

As part of the celebration, the Library also held a drawing for two prizes. Sonja Washington, Nursing faculty, won the Netter t-shirt provided by the LSUHSC Bookstore, and Melva Gaspard, Clinics staff, won a copy of Stedman's Medical Dictionary provided by the publisher.

The Library was pleased with the positive response to the exhibit from the LSUHSC community, and plans to participate in Medical Information Day in the future.
