I'm having problems updating values in one table depending if the member id exists in another table

My current SQL code is:

UPDATE etl_Members
SET
m.IsaLibrarian = 1
FROM
[dbo].[etl_Members] m,
[dbo].[Librarians] l
WHERE
m.MemberID = l.MemberID

But when I run it I get...

The multi-part identifier "m.IsaLibrarian" could not be bound.

Begin with:
UPDATE m
