What To Do With One Million Dollars
Dean Giustini asks "what would you do with a cool million dollars if it dropped from the sky?" Give myself and my assistant $500,000 raises. There done.
Seriously though, if there were no restrictions on the money. I would first bring my library up to snuff, meaning I would investigate technologies (computers, services, etc.) that I think our library is lacking and decide whether they are logical and feasible for our library. I am a small library, 1 million dollars may get laughs from people listening to Dr. Evil's ransom demands but it is big money for me and the idea of creating an endowment that yields a nice little yearly interest income might be nice as well.
What ideas do you have?

Michelle,
What would you do with your million? (Yes, my donation came through...)
Dean
ps. It's the first time someone thought I was "Dave"!
Dean,
Glad you got the donation :)
Sorry about the name, I fixed my mistake. What can I say, I read both yours and David Rothman's blogs back to back and came up with a new person. Oops.
Wow, Michelle. I'm really, really flattered to be confused with Dean.
I imagine a sort of japanese cartoon image: an aggregate MedLib blogger named Deavmarichelle Giukraftmatoman.

Michelle,
You were in the right Giustini ballpark - my brother's name is Dave.
Today I meet with the hospital foundation folks to discuss my ideas for a technical-mediator/clinical librarian/informationist position, which will be funded by the million dollar endowment.

Hi all,
I thought I'd say "hi." I must say that your blog and Dean and David's are my favourites. I've got you all on my Google page.
Michelle, I had just completed a presentation for Dean's class on "mashups for health librarians," and I commented to the class that I'm still anxiously anticipating the arrival of your article/entry on mashups.
I unfortunately had to go ahead and do the assignment, but nonetheless, I'm still excited to hear what you have to say about it.
Cheers,
Allan
