Report: The path to creating a world class library (ANZCA Spring Bulletin)

As one of the only anaesthesia and pain medicine specialist libraries worldwide, the ANZCA Library is often seen as the “jewel in the crown” for ANZCA fellows and trainees

Recently, the library completed a follow up report to this review, detailing the numerous developments that have occurred in the intervening period.

Selected highlights from the full report provided to ANZCA Council in March 2022 may be viewed in the document attached below.
