MedLib Blog Synergy
Mary Carmen Chimato is habitually generous with her time and knowledge- and I have repeatedly and gratefully been on the receiving end of that habit. She rocks.
Today, I called Mary for advice on something, and we ended up talking about the Health Librarianship Wiki that Dean Giustini has planned at UBC and about Rachel’s MeSH tags over at Women’s Health News- and Mary had the brilliant idea that entries in the Health Librarianship Wiki should have drop-down menus for quickly and conveniently adding MeSH tags.
But what really has me tickled is how the idea came about:
- Dean writes at his blog about his plans for a HealthLib wiki.
- Rachel writes at her blog about her MeSH tagging.
- Mary and David (who first contacted each other via blogging), discuss both Dean’s wiki plans and Rachel’s use of MeSH tags, and combine the one idea with the other.
- Mary shares the idea of combining the two on her blog.
How cool is that?
I love the biblioblogosphere.

Thanks for your kind words, David. You kow that I think you are doing really great and valuable work. I love the 6 degrees of separation blogging provides sometimes. It is great to have an idea and see people run with it.

Mary and David, you rock! I’m not even a medical/health science librarian and I’m fascinated by the work y’all are doing.
