NNLM SCR Update - Tuesday, October 27

Brian D. LeafBrian D. Leaf
Executive Director
South Central Region
Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM)
Gibson D. Lewis Health Science Library

Brian Leaf is the Executive Director of the NNLM South Central Region. He is passionate about outreach and trying to find ways to serve underserved populations through health information. Prior to managing the Regional Medical Library (RML), Brian has served as the Emerging Technologies Coordinator and, later, as the Community Engagement Coordinator. He completed his Master of Science in Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In the past, he held a library faculty appointment at The Ohio State University (OSU). While there, he was awarded the annual Teaching Excellence Award for his work redesigning the library’s information literacy curriculum. Brian also coordinated the OSU Digital Storytelling Program, an interdisciplinary, empathy-based program that provided video production workshops for academic departments, university staff, and students across campus. This work led him to collaborating with the Medical Heritage Library to design a course that helped pre-med students to conduct historical research and tell digital stories as a tangential branch of narrative medicine.

As a graduate research assistant, he worked under Dr. Joanne Marshall on “The value of library and information services in patient care: results of a multisite study,” a replication of the landmark “Rochester study” that demonstrated the positive impact of hospital libraries on clinical care. He was directly involved in early phases of the project, conducting interviews with providers and coding qualitative responses. Little did he know that this project was funded by another RML, and he is glad to have come full circle from those early days!

Outside of work, Brian is the drummer for a community jazz band and serves on the Board of Directors for Fort Worth Bike Sharing.
