As nearly all academic training and support has moved to remote learning, supporting students and faculty in health sciences programs can be a challenge. At the same time, many librarians are worried about their own health and the health of their families. Two experienced academic health sciences librarians will provide tips and resources for supporting health sciences programs and finding high quality health information remotely.
