Here’s a really good idea.
Nature Clinical Practice is testing out the offering of unabridged (”full-text”) articles in .mp3 audio format.
Since the embeddable audio player Nature provided doesn’t work properly for me (perhaps it doesn’t get along with WordPress?), I’ve embedded an audio article below:
Editorial

The United States Food and Drug Administration has Drug Safety Podcasts available, including text transcripts for those who want them.

Eugene Barsky gave a presentation on Monday at Vancouver Coastal Health on social software and health libraries. As always, Eugene has generously made his presentation slides available via PDF and via Slideshare (embedded below).

I have to admit how much I enjoyed slide three…

…not only because it appears as though Eugene may have read and […]

I saw some interesting comments on MEDLIB-L not too long ago:
“I do not think MLA, HLS, its officers, certainly not academic medical center librarians, understand that hospital libraries have ten years of life left,” writes the anonymous commenter. The commenter appears to hear the Joint Commission and others saying, “Let technology provide us with […]

AMN’s Pam Dolan just keeps on writing on topics that interest me. Can’t wait until I get a paper copy of AMN next week so I can read the full text of this article. (Thank you to the kind soul who sent me the full text so I didn’t have to wait a week […]

Now available for order from Haworth Press:
Medical Librarian 2.0: Use of Web 2.0 Technologies in Reference Services
Edited by M. Sandra Wood, MLS, MBA, AHIP, FMLA
Interesting, I think, that the experts sought out to write about Web technologies are disproportionately bloggers and/or people you’ve read about online.

Alan points out an article from the Health Information and Libraries Journal (UK) worth checking out (especially for those new to these technologies) that I somehow completely missed:

I do a bunch of database administration and data analysis for our hospital’s Quality department- so this really looks interesting to me. It might also be interesting to your organization’s Quality department.

I’m not the first to blog about these and I certainly won’t be the last, but I wanted to say a few brief “me too’s”:
I’m going to order Social Software in Libraries…

…and not just because Meredith mentions LibWorm in Chapter Three, either! I’m going to order it because Meredith’s writings on […]

Since I posted about the idea of a medical library offering iPods pre-loaded with library training materials for use while in the library, I’ve gotten three leads on such things.

Ratcatcher left a note to let me know that a comment at Michael Stephens’ Tame the Web from February of 2005 described the same idea […]

Before we left for our trip to Spain last year, I downloaded a bunch of audio files about major traveler’s destinations in Barcelona. The idea behind these was that you loaded them into your portable audio player and they replaced the need for a tour guide or an audio guide from the site being […]

Eugene Barsky points out a podcast from the British Columbia Rehabilitation Sciences Research Network (BC RSRnet) by Alison Hoens and Maggie McIlwaine entitled “Appraising the Evidence: So how do I know that this article is any good?”
Says Eugene:
This session would be of particular interest to the folks interested in Quantitative part of the health […]
