Dean Giustini has a GREAT four part series on physician bloggers that should be read by any medical librarian.

• Part I, Giustini interviews Dr. Ves Dimov of the Cleveland Clinic who manages Clinical Cases and Images - Blog.
• Part II, Giustini interviews Stanford medical school student, Graham Walker author of Over!My!Med!Body!
• Part III, Giustini interviews Dr. Joshua Schwimmer a nephrologist from New York and author of KidneyNotes.com
• Part IV, Giustini interviews Dr.Kevin Pho author of the well known medical blog KevinMD.com.

Giustini asks all four bloggers the same questions:

1. How do you search for information?
2. If Google went belly-up tomorrow - what would find the second most helpful tool that you have access to?
3. How do you keep up in your specific area of medicine?
4. Do you have access to a good medical librarian?
5. What are your favorite medical blogs?

All four bloggers provide interesting and unique answers to these questions. The answers to these questions are especially interesting to medical librarians. They provide us a unique insight into the searching minds of our users. It also shows that while many of these medical bloggers say they have access to great medical librarians they do NOT use them as much as they think they should because they are too busy. Alarm bells should be going off inside your medical librarian heads right now....that is an opportunity for outreach!

Awesome four part series Dean! :)
