How to Participate

We are asking that librarians select a service term from below and help find locations that offer that service anywhere in Illinois. Librarians are able to submit spreadsheets of found locations to the project to be uploaded. Instructions and a template for this process are available here. As topics are finished they will be removed from the list. If you would like to select a service to work on or have any questions please e-mail the project at golocal@lumc.edu.

For clarification on what each service term includes please refer to the NLM's Local Term Definitions.
