SCAMeL Mission Statement

The South Central Academic Medical Libraries Consortium, known as SCAMeL, is a consortium of academic medical libraries whose directors comprise the Board of Directors. Its mission is to improve information services, library operations, and resource sharing in its member libraries in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.

It provides leadership in cooperative projects, a forum for members to exchange ideas on improving library operation, opportunities for growth and development of staff through continuing education, and research projects for improvement of library and information service practices and the development of information policy.

The Board of Directors is committed to improving the management of SCAMeL through sharing of experiences and new ideas, as well as effective decision-making and program evaluation.
