Introducing Web 2.0: wikis for health librarians
Eugene Barsky and Dean Giustini
Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association
Volume 28, Number 4, Fall 2007
ISSN 1708-6892

It is good, but I thought a good compliment to an article titled “wikis for health librarians” might be to make note of a number of other wikis for health librarians:

Examples of wikis being used by health librarians:

• EBM Librarian (Mentioned in the article as an example of a WetPaint wiki)
• MLA-HLS Wiki
• PharmLib
• AskAway Virtual Reference Wiki – Medicine and Health Sciences
• Idaho Health Sciences Library Wiki
• St. Mary’s Library Wiki [via]
• University of Buffalo Health Sciences Library Wiki
• University of Manitoba’s Health Sciences Libraries Resources Wiki
• University of Minnesota Health Sciences Libraries Wiki
• Wiki des Bibliothèques Universitaires de Médecine et Santé Publique – Lausanne

Embedded slideshow above. If you’re reading this in an aggregator that doesn’t display it, you’ll need to visit the site to see the slideshow.

I suspect there are more. Leave a comment and let me know what sites should be added to this list?

Patricia Anderson keeps posting slides for presentations she gives. If her slides are any indications, these presentations must be really, really good.

Created as a podcast for the Dental Informatics Online Community, this is snapshot of what is going on with social technologies and Web 2.0 in various healthcare communities.

Presentation slides worth flipping through:

Eugene Barsky (who has recently been recognized for his work as an outreach physiotherapy librarian) posted slides from his presentation to the BC Ministry of Health and Ministry of Children and Family Development, providing a nice overview of how free Web tools are (or might be) used in healthcare.

I gave a talk last week at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN as a part of their Mayo Libraries 2.0 program. Slides from this talk are embedded below. If you prefer, you can see them here.

Many thanks to Mayo Clinic Libraries for having me- I had a great time!

(I’ll share more about my visit to Mayo in a future post.)

Just got back to NY and am starting the long process of catching up on email and reading. If you’ve written in the last week, please forgive the delay and know that I’ll get back to you in the next few days. There will be very light posting this week while I catch up both at work and at home.

Thank you to the wonderful Kaura Gale for keeping the lights on at davidrothman.net while I was away! I *will* need to take some time off the blog in coming months and would welcome email from anyone who would like to take a shot at writing a guest post (or a whole bunch of them).

Posts to expect later this week after I’m caught up: Notes on my visit to Mayo Libraries (short preview: Wow!), slides from my presentation for Mayo Libraries 2.0, multiple clumsy superlatives and metaphors which will attempt to describe how awesome Mayo’s Melissa Rethlefsen is (short preview: She’s crazy awesome), some articles of potential interest and a handful of resources online that have recently come to my attention.

Julie Smith (at Nursing Research: Show me the Evidence!) points to a PowerPoint presentation by Dana N. Rutledge, PhD, RN and Victoria Morrison BSN, RN of St. Joseph Hospital (Orange, California) on Evidence Based Practice and Nursing that I am tucking away for the next time someone asks what EBM/EBP is.

Zentation is pretty neat and could be very useful in making instructional materials.

Slideshare lets us upload a set of slides for sharing online, and Google Video lets us upload video for sharing online, but Zentation lets us display slides and a video together, and has tools to set the intervals of slide transitions to synch with the video.

It is easier to demonstrate than to explain, so check out the demonstration embedded below. It took about 30 minutes to slap together and takes just a couple of minutes to watch.

Above: Embedded Zentation demonstration. If you’re reading this post in an aggregator, you may need to visit the blog to see the demonstration.

Resources from Judy Burnham, used to teach her class for the 2007 Medical Association of Alabama Meeting:

• Web Page
• PowerPoint
• Cyber Cafe

These are definitely worth flipping through if you have even a casual interest in the application of Web technologies to medicine. I like to consider myself well-informed on the topic, but a handful of the resources Judy notes are new to me.

Many thanks, Judy!

I somehow missed this a few weeks ago:

I admit to having special fondness for slide #19.

This gets me thinking about how I’d present the ideas of Web/Library 2.0 to medical librarians. I think my structure and focus would be quite different. Now that I’m thinking about it, I’ll have to map it out.

This presentation by John Battelle* is from December of 2005, but is still absolutely worth reading through. This slide, for instance.

* – If you’re not familiar with John Battelle, see his blog, his book and his company, Federated Media.

As a part of the 5 Weeks to a Social Library course, Melissa L. Rethlefsen prepared this great screencast to demonstrate some of the nifty things one can do with RSS for a Library’s Web site.

Melissa is the Education Technology Librarian at the Learning Resource Center of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in my home town, Rochester, MN.

Nicely done, Melissa!
