- Librarians' RX has a great post from a couple of new medical librarians. They list a few tips and tricks they've picked up, as well as some links at the bottom of the post that you may find useful.
- Over at The Krafty Librarian, an interesting question is asked. It seems the new edition of the USMLE Step 3 came with a card, the USMLE Step 3 Recall, allowing for the download of an audio version of the book, rather than having a CD slapped inside it. After getting some clearance copyright-wise, TKL is looking for some advice on how to distribute the audio version properly and in a way that is easy for both patron and librarian. Any thoughts? While the quick fix in the comments section certainly works, it doesn't really take advantage of the technology available. Definitely something to think about as we hurtle towards the future of an electronic library.
- Surgery videos? MedlinePlus has them in spades. Quality break time watching, I assure you.
- The MLA has a Task Force On Social Networking? Really? Huh. This is a little old, but reading some of the discussion points on the role of Web 2.0 and Social Networking in the Medical Library will get you thinking.
- Have you completed Thing #7 yet? The Librarian In Black talks a bit about LibraryThing's new feature, LibraryThing Local, and how it could be used to bring libraries together.
- Three words: Pimp My Bookcart. We should really think about entering this summer. Really.
