I’d like to know the following:

1. Key ways Web 2.0 tools help you do your work (examples of how tools have helped you, your unit, or users accomplish tasks and achieve goals)

2. Best way(s) to help others learn to use these tools effectively

3. Specific tools you particularly recommend

4. Other suggestions or thoughts

To respond, please add your comment to this post, OR

Thanks for your time and input!

Using Twitter to Teach in the Medical Setting https://macmla.org/using-twitter-to-teach-in-the-medical-setting/ https://macmla.org/using-twitter-to-teach-in-the-medical-setting/#respond Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:20:23 +0000 http://macmla.wordpress.com/?p=335 Continue reading ]]> From Alan T. Williams –

Recently, surgeons in Detroit used Twitter while performing brain surgery.  The article has a nice video with it and discusses how medical students across the country were able to virtually sit in on this brain surgery through the use of Twitter.  I found this extremely interesting so I just thought I’d share.  Here’s the link to the video/article:  http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Weekend/story?id=7140272&page=1 .  Kind of gets your gears turning on the many uses of Twitter in medical library education.  Enjoy!

Internet TV For Doctors https://macmla.org/internet-tv-for-doctors/ https://macmla.org/internet-tv-for-doctors/#respond Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:18:21 +0000 http://macmla.wordpress.com/?p=281 Continue reading ]]> From Alan T. Williams:

My apologies if some of you all have already seen this site, but I stumbled across it this morning and thought it would be worthwhile to put on the MAC-MLA blog.  The site is called The Doctor’s Channel and has the slogan “Learn From Each Other. Fast”.  To put it simply: it’s YouTube for doctors.

It has some nice features that I see coming in handy with instruction or just in general with getting physicians to use these types of Internet resources more often.  The site covers almost 50 different medical specialties.  I learned a little bit about why Colgate is the number one toothpaste ever by watching the “Dentistry” channel.  🙂  Enjoy!

Here’s the link:  http://www.thedoctorschannel.com/ .

New Book: Internet Cool Tools for Physicians https://macmla.org/new-book-internet-cool-tools-for-physicians/ https://macmla.org/new-book-internet-cool-tools-for-physicians/#respond Tue, 13 Jan 2009 23:52:31 +0000 http://macmla.wordpress.com/?p=268 Continue reading ]]> From Alan Williams:

Hi all. I came across a book titled Internet Cool Tools for Physicians by Melissa Rethlefsen, David Rothman, and Daniel Mojohn. I have only been able to skim through some of it on Amazon.com, but it looks a great book for those of us interested in incorporating new technology in medical libraries. Here’s a link to the publisher website with more information: http://www.springer.com/medicine/book/978-3-540-76381-9 .

It’s also available on Amazon.com where you can “Look Inside” the book. Definitely a nice addition to any medical library that still has money in their collection budget available 😉

Thanks,

New Online Short Courses on Emerging Online Tools https://macmla.org/new-online-short-courses-on-emerging-online-tools/ https://macmla.org/new-online-short-courses-on-emerging-online-tools/#respond Tue, 13 Jan 2009 00:28:15 +0000 http://macmla.wordpress.com/?p=261 Continue reading ]]> From Bart Ragon (for more information see the MLA Social Networking blog):

Last year, many MLA members learned the basics of social networking software by participating in the continuing education (CE) course, “Web 2.0 101: Introduction to Second Generation Web Tools.” Now it’s time to take a closer look. The Task Force on Social Networking Software invites MLA members to participate in the free course, “Dig Deeper with Social Media: Short Courses on Emerging Online Tools.”

In this course, members can pick and choose the topics of interest to them, as each short course will be offered a la carte.

MLA member feedback told us what topics were of greatest interest to the membership. Each short course is designed to take a more advanced look into a topic and may require a greater comfort level with Web 2.0 technology. Graduates from last years course and intermediate computer users will feel right at home with the new material.

The schedule will be as follows:

January 19th – 25th
Media Sharing
2 CE Credits

February 16th – 22nd
Web Collaboration Tools ( Registration required by Feb 9th)
2 CE Credits

March 9th – 15th
Wikis
2 CE Credits

April 20th -26th
Blogs
2 CE Credits
