The overarching goal of the library remains to serve the MCH community with accurate, reliable, and timely information and resources. Like the field of MCH, championed into existence by dedicated activists and nurtured by passionate, gifted people over the decades that followed, today's library is the result of the work of an unbroken chain of individuals devoted to its cause and with a vision for its future. The library website is a critical tool for the field where MCH stakeholders can access the work and wisdom of content experts in the field. All materials, whether in print or digital, are vetted, organized, and curated by librarians devoted to providing the field of MCH with the most relevant evidence-based, implementation-focused resources, links, and tools. Significance Statement: Development of the MCH Library has followed the growth of maternal and child health as a field, but until now little has been written about the history of the library as a resource. This article outlines how the library evolved from an initial requirement integrated in the founding of the Children's Bureau to an integral component of HRSA Maternal and Child Health programming. In addition to the history of the library, impact and goals for the future are presented. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
