I like to scope out what the state of graphic medicine is in a library’s collection when I’m preparing for a talk. Most don’t make it easy.
— Matthew Noe (@NoetheMatt) November 9, 2017
Building these titles as a “collection” within a catalog is probably the most important thing that needs to happen for GM in libraries – aside from buying the books to begin with anyway.
