Meet the Medical Librarian Maven!

Yes! Alexia Estabrook has started her new blog about Medical Librarianship, Musings of a Medical Librarian Maven.

Among the things I like about this:

  • Alexia wrote a really good article about RSS in Medical Libraries (Leveraging Real Simple Syndication for Current Awareness) that was published in the Journal of Hospital Librarianship, for which she’s also been a technology editor. Another techie MedLib blogging!
  • Alexia is the president of the Metropolitan Detroit Medical Library Group.
  • Alexia was on-board with the concept of RSS for current awareness (and publicly) well before I was. She’s ahead of the curve.
  • I’ve corresponded with Alexia a bit via email. She strikes me as sharp, awfully nice, and really committed to contributing to her profession’s community.
  • If you subscribe to this blog, The Krafty Librarian, Librarians’Rx, or any of the other blogs listed here, you’ll want to subscribe to Alexia’s blog, too. (Alexia, remember to add your blog to the Wiki list of MedLib blogs, okay?)

    Also: I love the title she chose for her first post. It reminds me of something…

    Please drop Alexia a comment and welcome her to the blogversation. :)
