Nikki Dettmar points to a 25-minute PubMed Review slides & audio presentation from the NLM Theater at MLA 2008. Nikki has a great breakdown of sections, too- in case you want to skip to particular topics.
(Nikki, where’s your MedLib Blog Badge?)

Thanks again to Nikki Dettmar for […]

(I don’t care that Ratcatcher beats me to posting cool stuff. I’m gonna’ post ‘em anyway- they’re cool and deserve multiple mentions from MedLib blogs.)
From the Ebling Library at the University of Wisconsin Madison:

Also available as PDF.
I also really enjoyed this poster from Ebling1:

Lots more on this […]

In Everything is Miscellaneous, David Weinberger writes:
Bundling songs into long-playing albums lowered the production, marketing, and distribution costs because there were fewer records to make, ship, shelve, categorize, alphabetize, and inventory. As soon as music went digital, we learned that the natural unit of music is the track.
This leaves me thinking: What’s the “natural […]

Well, I think the MLA2008 GroupTweet I set up can be called a success. Patricia Anderson did an analysis of its use during the Plenary IV Session that makes very interesting reading.
Many who used the MLA2008 GroupTweet during the conference said that they might like something similar year-round, so I set up a GroupTweet […]

I believe this’ll be the last video, but there’ll be more MLA 2008 stuff coming soon.

On the MLA2008 GroupTweet, someone asked:
Missing 2008 and having never attended MLA - curious, what’s biggest take home? Networking, knowledge, padding for the CV?
I answered:
Networking. Meeting smart, fun, friendly people who have similar concerns and challenges.
The following video features only a few of the really friendly, smart, fun people I met or got to hang […]

Reading this from T. Scott’s blog made me feel a lot better:
“We feel like this every year,” I tell Lynn. “In the last couple of days before the MLA meeting we’re completely stressed out and we don’t think there’s any way that we can get everything done that needs doing. But we always […]

There are a number of medical libraryfolk using Twitter, so I thought it might be fun if we were able to conveniently send each other short messages during MLA 2008. All I had to do was set up the MLA2008 account and register it with GroupTweet.
Here’s how you can join in:
1. Go to http://twitter.com/ […]
