Terri Ottosen, Community Engagement & Health Literacy Librarian, Receives MLA President’s Award

Terri Ottosen was part of the 2018 Task Force to Review the Medical Library Association’s (MLA) Competencies for Lifelong Learning and Professional Success. In recognition of their work revising the association’s professional competencies to address changes to the work of health information professionals in the past decade, including technology advances, new emphasis on research and expanded teaching responsibilities, the team received the MLA President’s Award in May at the annual meeting. The President’s Award is given to an MLA member who has been selected by the association’s officers and Board of Directors for a notable or important contribution made during the past association year. The contribution must have enhanced the profession of health sciences librarianship or furthered the objectives of the association.
