Want to know who my stakeholders are?  What types of value-added services I provide? The best and worst things I've seen at this job? Ask and find out!  Don't have a question, but want to read along to see how many bad jokes I can make in 140 characters?  Then please join us.  Not a librarian?  That's great too!  EMS and all other professions & related questions welcome.

Edit: Transcript available at http://bit.ly/15AWGNx

Tomorrow (Thursday 3/7/13) at 6pm Pacific/9:00pm Eastern, Michelle Kraft (@krafty) will be hosting the #medlibs chat on apps and tablets.  What are you doing with apps? Are you creating a library specific app, catalog app, etc? Or do you have a good app guide that you want to share with others?  Is there a push for tablets within your institution, if so which one?  Can tablets access the EMR so that your docs & nurses can treat patients and do research with one device?

What other trends do you see or want discussed about apps and tablets? For more details check out her blog post.
