Enhanced Access to Mental Health Information-A Multi-Type Library Collaboration

The purpose of this article is to describe the experience of a multi-type library collaboration to enhance access to mental health information in northeastern Pennsylvania. When our medical library learned about the availability of funding in the area of mental health, we decided that a multi-type library collaboration would be the best approach. As a result, The Commonwealth Medical College-Medical Library received a National Network of Libraries of Medicine-Middle Atlantic Region Outreach to Consumers Award to partner with the Lackawanna County Library System to enhance access to mental health information in northeastern Pennsylvania.
