Added a feed from Google Blog Search (which uses a fairly narrow search) to the Superfeed.
Added filters to the Superfeed to screen out a handful of false positives.
Embedded Grazr widget (see end of post)

To make sure I don’t miss any online chatter about Computers in Libraries 2008 […]

Info.RxCases is a “companion to a new health information service that is being offered to patients and their families at the Herzl Family Practise Centre in Montreal, Quebec.”

Blogger Francesca Frati (previously mentioned here) writes:
The Patient health Information Service at Herzl (H-PHIS) opened its doors in early July of this year (2007) and is in the […]

(Just a quick note from a rehearsal break in Chicago)
I love this announcement from the JMLA Case Studies in Health Sciences Librarianship blog:
“…we’re going to start posting a “search challenge” question each Monday. We encourage you to post your ideas and questions in the comments or to us by email (using our profile links above). […]

In response to this post about Marcus Banks’ assertion that Professional Librarian Journals Should Evolve into Blogs, Rachel Walden (a medical librarian, a blogger and an editor at the JMLA) left the following comments:
…I tend to agree with T. Scott on these matters1, for several reasons. I don’t see any reason why librarianship journals as […]

The Journal of the European Association for Health Information and Libraries has a new issue out.
On page 41 of the PDF, check out an article by Ioana Robu (”Semantic Web applications in biology and medicine”) that updates “An introduction to the Semantic Web for health sciences librarians” (J Med Libr Assoc. 2006;94(2):198-205.) with information […]

Dean Giustini likes Marcus’ idea about replacing LIS journals with blogs (see yesterday’s post), but also has concerns:
…my only reservation is when research methods are used such as randomization and the articles would need to go through peer-review.
T. Scott (former editor of the JMLA and one of my favorite contrarians) explains some of his reservations […]

I think Jon Udell started it.
Jon noted that science stories get released online and bookmarked, commented upon, and blogged about all over the Web.
It’s all happening on the web, but it’s happening in isolated ghettoes with few points of actual contact. How could we bring those worlds into closer contact?
Jon also suggests how this might […]

The new Social Graph API from Google might prove really interesting.

I added a bunch of XFN ‘rel’ attributes to this blog’s links so I can do a little more playing (if you’re using WordPress, you can do this quickly and easily).

Someday I’ll get around to writing about microformats here- but not […]

For about a week, I’ve had del.icio.us set up to create daily posts on this blog to point out things I’ve found interesting but don’t have time to write about individually.
What do you think? Are these good? Helpful? Welcome? Should I keep this set-up?
I’d be grateful to hear any opinions you care […]

Le beau (bo) blog d’un bobo bibliothécaire en médecine - là où l’on soigne les bobos, dans tous les sens du terme.
If I’m making proper use of translation tools and not being an idiot (bit dicey to make bets on that…), the title of this blog (Bobobiblioblog) appears to be a play on words, saying […]

Marcus Banks has closed and posted the results of his survey (previously mentioned here) for “librarians who read blogs that are written by health sciences librarians and targeted to other professionals.”
Check out the results here.
I loved seeing the results of Question 5:
5. How do you follow blogs?: 256 responses (1o people skipped this question)
A. Bookmark/check […]

The 17th Edition is at The Story of Healing.
Standard disclaimer: I don’t like the name of this carnival and some of what is featured in it each week has nothing to do with what O’Reilly described as “Web 2.0″ - but the items it points to are frequently interesting and useful to anyone interested in […]

I just discovered that the Journal of Medical Internet Research has a page where they feature snippets of (and links to) recent posts from what they call “eHealth Blogs,” including davidrothman.net.

These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.

The feed of LISNews was among the first handful that I subscribed to when I initially decided to start following biblioblogs a few years ago- so I’m really tickled to make the list of LISNews’ Top 10 Blogs to Read in 2008.
This is an unexpected and really flattering honor. Thank you!

These icons link to […]

Okay. To my great surprise, it looks like I actually have a chance at winning this award (previously mentioned here and here).

At the moment, I’m trailing Berci’s ScienceRoll- but not by a great margin.
This sort of contest is really about how many people one can motivate to go vote for one’s own […]

“Patient Education Matters!” is a bi-weekly e-newsletter for the staff and volunteers of Inova Health System. The “Patient Education Matters!” blog is an abridged version of this publication available to the general public.

Why is David always on about this badgey stuff? Badges? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!
Previously, I’ve noted the following blogs […]

Well, I was pretty hard on Dean Giustini’s BMJ Editorial.
I have believed in the value of the dialectical process since long before I knew there was a term for it and have always believed that honest criticism serves the criticized, the critic, and those witnessing the process.
So I LOVE that Dean decided to […]

When I thanked Rachel for nominating me in MedGadget’s 2007 Annual Medical Weblogs Awards, I didn’t consider the possibility that my blog would end up a finalist in the category of Best Medical Technologies/Informatics Weblog.

That’s really flattering because I subscribe to and read the other four nominees- they’re all absolutely worth your time and attention.
If […]

I was asked recently in an interview:
“You’ve written quite a bit about Web 2.0 tools and medical librarianship […snip…] Are there ways in which you see health sciences librarianship 2.0 as differing from Library 2.0?”
I answered that I’m actually not all that fond of the the “2.0″ suffix, whether it is applied to “Web,” “Library,” […]

From Marcus Banks:
I’m working on a paper for a meeting in Las Vegas next month, called, “Delving into the Health Sciences Biblioblogosphere: How Has it Changed our Professional Practice?” The abstract is below.
For the paper I’ll include results of a survey of librarians who read blogs that are written by health sciences librarians and […]
