Edit: Transcript available at http://bit.ly/11EYYwo

Here are the #medlibs directions for our Thursday May 30th at 6pm PST (9pm EST)


  • Where are we going in health librarianship? and how are we going to get there? 
  • Many of our colleagues are facing budget cutbacks and library closures; so what will become of the one-librarian hospital library? 
  • Both UBC and McGill in Canada are closing (or contemplating the closure of) medical libraries. 
  •  Let us know what you think are the biggest threats / opportunities for health librarians in the next few years. 
  • Join us for this inspired tweet chat (sure to be spirited) about the future of our field...
