New Blog: JMLA Case Studies in Health Sciences Librarianship
Just learned this morning via an email from Rachel Walden, MLIS, (a JMLA Editorial Assistant and the author of Women’s Health News) about the JMLA Case Studies blog which has been set up to accompany the new case studies feature in the Journal.
From the first post on the blog, dated 7/17/2006:
The October 2006 issue of the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) will contain the first installment in a new series of case studies. These cases will provide narrative and insight from expert commentators drawn from librarianship, informatics, medicine, research, and other areas that inform the development of a given case situation. This feature will share commentary and practices for a variety of scenarios with the intent of prompting discussion of issues facing health sciences librarianship as a developing profession and the development of potential solutions.
This blog will serve as an online forum for further discussion of the scenarios and facets of the strategies for addressing these information-related challenges. The curator of the column, JMLA co-editor Rebecca Jerome, will collate prominent issues from comments/questions submitted by readers into periodic updates to the blog, with the intent of fostering discourse about techniques for addressing complex information-related issues in the health sciences.
Note that the column and blog are both curated by Rebecca Jerome, MLIS, so we know they’ll be worth reading.
