About the List

The NAHSL-L Listserv is a forum for the discussion of issues of interest to health science librarians in New England. It is restricted to only active members of NAHSL.  The listserv is hosted at the Lamar Soutter Library, University of Massachusetts Medical School.

How to Join the List

As a NAHSL Member, we will automatically add you to the NAHLS Listserv and notify you that this has been done. The Listserv is managed by members of the NAHSL Technology Committee.
