Abstract

Hospital librarians can promote themselves and their libraries by collaborating with institutional departments on significant projects or programs beyond traditional library services that support the mission of their respective institutions. This article reports on one such project, the Annual Academic Competition, at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, now an integral part of the North Shore–Long Island Jewish Health System. Through this project, library staff capitalized on their skills as organizers of data, Web site developers, experts in citation management, and facilitators of academic writing. The Academic Competition has grown in size and qualitative characteristics over four decades.

The NSLIJHS Electronic Medical Library (EMIL) was developed under grant 3 5G08LM008090-3 from the National Library of Medicine.
