Wrapping it up: Directions for 2013

Edit: Our brainstorming document of where we're headed - journal club! woohoo! 

Revisiting the beginning when our chat launched in June this year, the concepts of Sharing, Ideas, Medical & Knowledge are crystal clear as desired outcomes:

Last week in our free range discussion, collaborating across established hashtags was discussed.

This week, on Thursday December 13 (our last organized chat of 2012) at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern come ready to share with your fellow #medlibs on Twitter with descriptive URLs ready to include when applicable:

  1. What other hashtag chats would be good interprofessional opportunities to invite to #medlibs?
  2. What topics should we cover in these interprofessional #medlibs chats? 
  3. How can we encourage other medical librarians to participate in #medlibs chats?
  4. What topics would you like to discuss in 2013 on #medlibs chats?

If you can't make it please comment below with your ideas, and spread the word. Never participated in a Twitter hashtag chat before? Check out this overview and come on in, we're a supportive community.

Free range first Thursday

Edit: Transcript http://bit.ly/11O0WIA

This Thursday (December 6, 2012) at 6pm Pacific/9 Eastern join us on Twitter for a #medlibs discussion about these topics or anything else you'd like. How are you putting the knowledge you've gained from our chats to use? Did you register for the April 2013 data management MOOC? (thanks for the link, @ultimatelibrarn) Join the conversation and let's find out!
