Videos via PubMed

I've missed the boat on this one, but PubMed has been indexing medical videos since 2008. There aren't many so far, but it's a nice trend. Select Interactive Tutorial under Publication Type to see the list.

Thanks to the Krafty Librarian for this tip!

HealthLINE Travel Award Winners

It is with great pleasure that HealthLINE announces it's 2010 Travel Awards:

Emily Patridge- $500 scholarship Full Member Award
Sonya Ritchie- $400 scholarship Student Member Award

Recipients were selected based upon their histories of active, tangible investments in both professional and academic pursuits of medical librarianship.

Emily Patridge has taken numerous lead roles as an Outreach and Marketing Librarian at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Library in Dallas. Emily also serves as a Liaison to several departments of medical specialty and to University Hospitals. Her ever-growing list of authored works reflects Emily's focused determination to further medical librarianship.

Likewise, Sonya Ritchie brings twenty years of immersion in the medical community to her current studies at the University of North Texas' Dept. of Library and Information Sciences Health Informatics program. Early into her studies, Sonya began participating in extra-curricular events such as scholarly communication symposiums with an eye on professional growth while continuing to manage the pace of the masters program.

We hope you will join us in congratulating Emily and Sonya for their achievements.
