[PNRNews] FYI from the RML: Changing the Face of Medicine Exhibit

[NNLM PNR]

Three libraries in the NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region have been selected 
by the American Library Association to host the National Library of 
Medicine exhibit, Changing the Face of Medicine: Celebrating Americas 
Women Physicians in 2005 and 2006. NLM mounted the initial exhibition 
honoring the lives and accomplishments of these women in the hope of 
inspiring a new generation of medical pioneers.

We congratulate the following libraries in this region:
* Multnomah County Public Library, Portland, Oregon
* Mid-Columbia Library District, Kennewick, Washington
* University of Washington Health Science Libraries, Seattle, Washington

The exhibition provides a marvelous panorama of the many ways that women 
have influenced and enhanced the practice of medicine and the individuals 
featured in it provide an intriguing glimpse of the broader community of 
women doctors who are making a difference. It will be on display in the 
host libraries for a six-week period. If you did not have an opportunity 
to view the exhibit at NLM in Bethesda, do look for it and any 
accompanying programs the libraries sponsor. When we know the exact dates 
for each venue we will send an alert.
