Library Journal just released their Movers and Shakers of 2006 list. It is interesting to see what innovative librarians are doing. The even better thing is that there are some medical librarians listed as this years movers and shakers. Congratulations.

Medical librarian, Merle Colglazier, founded JournalShare to collect donated medical journals and books to ship to many overseas medical libraries that couldn't afford them. Later he developed the PubZilla as an inexpensive way for libraries to exchange or purchase back volumes and issues of medical journals.

Laurel Graham, American Dietetic Association, came up with the idea of Free for All (FFA), a collaboration among medical librarians to provide free articles from the medical literature to “health science professionals in countries whose libraries have been decimated by war and poverty.”
