LiME: LiME

Libraries in Medical Education (LiME) is a special interest group (SIG) of the Northeastern Group on Educational Affairs (NEGEA) of the AAMC. There are LiME SIGs in each GEA region, and the four groups normally come together twice a year, at AAMC and MLA annual meetings.

LiME has three broad objectives:

To promote communication and collaboration between libraries and NEGEA members on curricular and research initiatives.
To champion librarians as valued components of the medical education team.
Increase the professional knowledge and skills of NEGEA members through educational programming delivered by librarians.

NEGEA Libraries in Medical Education Blog
This blog is a place for members to post questions, observations, collaboration opportunities, and just about anything else that will help further the role of the librarian in medical education.

Membership
Though consisting primarily of librarians tasked with curricular involvement, membership in the SIG is open to anyone from AAMC member institutions hoping to support our objectives. Contact any of the current officers for more information, and join us at one of the meetings listed below.
