Introduction

The Health Libraries Association of British Columbia (HLABC) http://chla-absc.ca/hlabc/ was founded in 1978 by W. (Bill) Colin Fraser one of the pioneers in health librarianship in the province. Some of HLABC's prominent members over the years have included Sue Abzinger, Jim Henderson, David Noble and Cathy Rayment. It is the provincial association for hospital and health librarians as well as health library assistants. HLABC is also the provincial chapter of the CHLA/ABSC (Canada).

Like most chapters of CHLA/ABSC (Canada), HLABC maintains its own bylaws and membership lists. The Association represents the views of BC health libraries and librarians, advocates for library and information professionals locally, provincially and nationally, and hosts regular lectures and continuing education events. It holds an annual general meeting in the late spring, publishes a regular newsletter and brings professional colleagues together to plan annual conferences.
