Previously I asked the question, "What would you like to see here" and I got many responses. I am thankful for all of the responses I have received. It was nice to hear your thoughts suggestions.

One comment asked for more medical library related blogs.

"On your blogroll, I would like to see a list of blogs maintained by medical librarians (as opposed to those maintained by librarians in fields other than the medical). Yours and UBC Google Scholar Blog are the only medical-library specific blogs that I know of. I have learned so very much from those two blogs that I would like to learn what other medical-librarian operated blogs are out there."

I looked at my little blog roll and realized the listing of medical blogs is kind of small and needs some updating. However, I am going to be moving my blog in the next couple of months so I am loath to change everything just before I move. So, I have decided in the mean time to list them here in this post for now.

This is a list of blogs created by medical librarians or related to medical librarianship. I wanted only blogs where medical librarians would/could be readers, not where medical library users would be readers. Therefore, I tried not to include any medical libraries that are doing blogs. This is by no means a top ten list, it is just a list of ones that I have found. If you know of a good site add it in the comments section.

One last note, I tried to include only blogs that are still updated. I did list a few blogs that have not been updated since 2005 (noted in the list). It is my small attempt to possibly jump start those authors into publishing again. These were once very good blogs or blogs that seemed to fill a niche and it is a shame to see them slowly die.
