The Journal is published in English and French; its full name is the Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association / Journal de l'Association des bibliothèques de la santé du Canada. It is an open-access professional journal for the medical library community in Canada. Its former name was Bibliotheca Medica Canadiana (BMC) from 1976-2003.
