I’m Rebecca Carlson, the Mercy College of Nursing and Health Sciences Library Director at Southwest Baptist University in Springfield, Missouri. I’ll be one of the guest writers sharing Krafty posts with you this year.
I am the solo librarian on the SBU health sciences campus and I work with faculty and students in our nursing and radiology programs. I wear many hats and have a lot of “other duties as assigned,” but I love the challenges and unique opportunities of medical librarianship. This summer I have been teaching an online class with a nursing instructor on professional writing and APA style for healthcare and have learned a lot from the experience.
I’m looking forward to sharing my thoughts and ideas with y’all and learning from all the fantastic librarians Michelle has assembled here.
Has any health science library taken advantage of MakerBot digitizers and 3-D printers for educational purposes? I am interested in the possibility of purchasing the MakerBot equipment for various student projects. Thanks. Sue Warthman
