A little about us
The CHIP librarians meet three times each calendar year at alternating library locations. However, since 2020 the members meet exclusively via Zoom. Our group uses these meeting opportunities to discuss important library and librarian issues of the day. The group functions as a special and health librarian "think tank". Agenda items are suggested and selected by the membership and there is continuous information sharing among group members throughout the year. This website serves to further our information sharing and correspondence.
