If your medical library uses RSS…

If your medical library uses RSS, please let me know!

Yesterday, I got a lovely email from Joy, an MLIS student (who also holds a B.S. in nursing!). Among other things, she asks:

…Are you aware of non-academic, smaller hospital libraries utilizing RSS for their health care professional staff?

Aside from my own meager efforts, I’m not aware of any non-academic medical libraries that do this. If yours is one of them, please leave a comment or email me at david[DOT]rothman[AT]gmail.com? It would be a great help to Joy (who is doing a class project on RSS and special libraries), and I’d love to hear from you, too.

Also, help me convince Joy that with a B.S. in nursing and an MLIS she REALLY needs to consider medical librarianship as a career path!
