Collection Equity Award - Norris Medical Library USC

The Norris Medical Library (NML) plans to expand our Graphic Medicine collection and promote it to our patrons and library community. We will aim to bolster our Graphic Medicine collection and jumpstart activities related to narrative medicine and health equity on campus as well as drive usage of the collection. We will focus on acquiring titles that fill gaps in our existing collection related to LGBTQ+ health, women’s sexual health and maternal health, sexually transmitted diseases, and trauma. Due to the intersectional nature of many narratives, we will also seek out titles that feature authors and stories from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. These narratives may overlap with other health topics in our existing collection.
