July 2018 Chat

Thursday, July 12, 2018

6:00pm Pacific/9:00pm Eastern  

Led by @pfanderson @openpeonie & @pat_devine  

Calling all #medlibs !  Pat Devine (@pat_devine), Patricia Anderson (@pfanderson), and Sola Whitehead (@openpeonie) are trying to reinvigorate the Twitter medical librarians community with a rebirth of the #medlibs Twitter chats!

The first chat is this Thursday evening at 9:00pm EDT (6:00 pm PDT). Topic: what do YOU want for the reborn #medlibs chat? This first time, we have a few questions for YOU (and we'll also be making a survey for those of you who can't make the chat for whatever reasons, or reach out to us on Twitter).

1) Are Thursday evenings a good day and time for YOU? If not, what's better? Should we pick one time for all meeting, or alternate times to be accessible to different groups?

2) #MEDLIBS used to be weekly, which was a bit much for some. Is that what you want. or would it be better to try monthly, quarterly, or other?

3) Topics! We have ideas! You have ideas! Let's brainstorm a bit, and find out what YOU want most.
