#medlibs chat

At the most recent CHLA SIG at SLAIS meeting I gave a short presentation about gopubmed.org, explaining what it was and how it can be used by health librarians.

During the meeting, I was asked how I had learned about gopubmed to begin with. I explained that I had first heard of it during a medical librarians tweet chat session. The #medlibs tweet chats are a really neat way to interact with practicing health librarians all over the world, and I have found they are very welcoming to students.

For more information about #medlibs chat, visit their blog where they post what the upcoming topic is going to be and information about date/time.

Cheers, Grace

Charles Woodward Memorial Room Tour

Do you love old books? If you do, you should come and check out the Charles Woodward Memorial Room and its history of medicine collection on Wednesday Oct 9 at 1:30 pm with the CHLA Student Interest Group at SLAIS.

We’re going on a tour of the Charles Woodward Memorial Room at Woodward Library. As some of you may know, the Memorial Room will be closing in the near future and its contents moved to the UBC Rare Books and Special Collections vault. Therefore, if you want to see this incredible history of medicine collection which includes books dating back to 1600s (such as Tabulae Anatomicae and others) in all its glory, this may be your last chance. For more info click here.

It won’t be a long tour (it’s just the one room), so if you do have a 2 pm class, you still should have plenty of time to attend and make it to class.

Space is limited, so please register now!

Hope to see you all there!
