Blog Posts of Interest to Medical Librarians

Sorry, I feel like I have been a little behind on my posts these last couple of weeks because I have been kind of busy at work (writing a grant to pay for a link resolver and digging out and cataloging a giant pile of books threatening to bury me). So bear with me while I direct you do some other good posts by fellow medical library bloggers.

David Rothman (who in my mind is a medical library RSS guru) has post, Medical RSS Directories, which he provides a brief review of four medical RSS feed directories.

Peter Scott (ok I cheated, he isn't a medical librarian) reports that January 1st 2007, the full text of articles in Blackwell Publishing journals will no longer be hosted on IngentaConnect. (AACK!) Libraries wishing to continue to provide online access to these journals should activate their access on Blackwell Synergy.

The Musings of a Medical Librarian Maven (a new medical library blog by Alexia Estabrook a hospital librarian) has two interesting posts. In the post Time management for the hospital librarian which she mentions how easy it is for a hospital librarian to get sidetracked from job duties and how she has found cueing to be helpful to get her back on task. In the post New Worldcat.org website now available (and what it means for medical libraries), she talks about how the public may be confused into erroneously thinking they can waltz into a nearby medical library and check out a book.
