Hello,
I would like to welcome you all to my new blog, which would be dealing with anything related to physiotherapy informatics.
Just a couple of words of introduction…
Who am I? My name is Eugene Barsky and I am a Physiotherapy Outreach Librarian at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at the University of British Columbia (UBC). At this position, I serve as a librarian working with the Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia (PABC).
Why this blog? Before 1997, the term weblog just didn’t exist. By 1999 there were only a few hundred blogs. Today, the search site Technorati.com tracks almost 29 million of them. Personally, I believe that this blog is all about conversations, interpersonal networking, and personalization of physiotherapy information. Frequently, we want to experience the Web, we want to learn and succeed; and this tool is about to provide us the tools and context to do just that. For more information on use of blogging in health sciences check out my pre-print article for the next issue of the Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association (JCHLA).
What is in this blog? In this weblog I intend to discuss anything related to physiotherapy informatics with an emphasis on Evidence-Based Practice in this profession. Moreover, an emphasis on Canadian content would be made. I will be working to update this resource on daily basis and hoping for your help doing so. Therefore, if you find anything related to your practice and you would like to share it, please let me know and I will post it here… Moreover, COMMENTS section is for you to comment and discuss issues, discrouse is greatly welcomed here! This is an unofficial resource though. Please feel free to share your thoughts and don’t be afraid of your spelling – you see I am not 🙂

This is awesome Eugene. Thanks for creating this fabulous resourse.
Hello Eugene, thank you so much for setting this up. I look forward to coming here frequently, meeting you soon, and helping to keep you busy!
I’m looking forward to blogging! Thanks so much Eugene for initiating this
Hi Eugene,
Terrific! This will be very useful and I thank you for setting this up for us. I will visit frequently.
‘Lo Eugene, Thank you for moving the profession into the 21st crntury. It’s great to have you “on board”
This is great! Anything that makes finding quality articles easier is great by me! Is this only limited to physiotherapy topics or can we look up other more general topics like aging or perimenopause or use of certain drugs?
Susan, it is up to us where we take this blog… Please let me know of anything of particular interest to you 🙂
well my right knee is beginning to give me discomfort-sometimes pain.
one physician says anti-inflamatories, the other,
phsyiotherapy. so alan says (thats my bro) check out ubc for maybe clinics. conceivably we would have state of the art counsel on the matter and the associated economics might be more favourable.
