Hi all, An alert to a new publication on medical librarians and web 2.0 for reference services. Interesting to see this in the light of the recent discussions in the world of library blogs around the relatively low rates of blogging seen amongst hospital librarians (see http://www.libworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=hospital+librarians&s=Search&r= Exact for examples of the debate). Or jump straight to http://kraftylibrarian.com/2007/10/blogging-difference-between-academic. html for a link to the survey that provoked the discussion and one persons take on it (and some interesting comments).
