N1 - Funding Information:
This was the largest and most complex venue to arrange that was funded by the outreach award, the first veterinary conference the MSL faculty attended under the purview of the NN/LM award, and the initial opportunity to identify problems with the exhibit process and the display for resolution before the next conference. The AVMA convention has a designated nonprofit exhibit area where booths are less expensive and include required furniture, carpet, and badges. MSL couldn’t reserve an exhibit space until it received the award and, in that time, nonprofit exhibits sold out. The MSL’s exhibit was in the commercial area and the AVMA worked with the MSL to provide space at a reduced price. The complexities of arranging for furniture, carpet, utilities, badges, and shipping proved challenging for the MSL as inexperienced exhibitors.

N2 - The Medical Sciences Library at Texas A&M University (MSL) participates in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) National Network of Libraries of Medicine South Central Region (NN/LM) Regional Resource Library outreach initiative. This program generally funds regional outreach activities promoting NLM information resources. The MSL and veterinary library community recognized practicing clinical veterinarians as an underserved population. The 2013–2014 MSL outreach proposal combined traditional activities with the development of materials to assist veterinarians with NLM resources, and exhibit to a national audience. This article provides an overview of the NN/LM SCR Resource Library Outreach Awards, an overview of MSL outreach activities for the year, and lessons learned.
