ta ta for now – Eugene Barsky’s departure and the physio blog

This is my saddest post on this blog. Well – because this is my last one. I was offered and decided to accept a new tenured track librarian position with the Science and Engineering Library, University of British Columbia.

It means that I will not continue my blogging here. The newly hired librarian – Aditi Gupta – will be holding the fort and keep updating you as for the news in physiotherapy informatics.

The blog does not die – which is a very good thing for me 🙂

I decided to omit the name of the University of British Columbia from the blog’s title, since it will not continue to be affiliated with the university where I work…

I will greatly miss all British Columbia physios I worked with during the recent years – amazing group of people! I enjoyed it so much! Thank you to hundreds of you who used our library services. Thank you for all your kudos and for being such a great users group – you are a dream of every professional librarian!!

Thank you also to all physical therapists out there that came to read our blog more than 102,000 times during the last two years. Thank you for spending the time with us. I hope you found something useful while being here.

Thank you to all health librarians who came to use our blog as a learning tool and as an example of outreaching to a diverse community of users. I have always appreciated your feedback and respected your opinions.

Particular thank you to those individuals that inspired me and served as my mentors, colleagues and friends: Dean Giustini, Sally Taylor, Lindsay Ure, Katherine Miller, Susan Atkey, Sheryl Adam, David Rothman, Simon Neame, Mark Rabnett, Barbara Saint, Charlotte Beck, Lee Ann Bryant, Aleteia Greenwood, Allan Cho, Brian Lamb. A particular big thank you to the Physiotherapy Association of BC CEO – Rebecca Tunnacliffe, who ALWAYS supported me and my work with the physiotherapists!!

Ta Ta for Now – we are all off to new adventures 🙂

Eugene,

You’re well on your way to your career goals, and this is just the beginning for you.

Keep working hard, and set the bar ever higher. In the meantime, you can pat yourself on the back for your enormous success.

Dean

Eugene,

Indeed, this is just the first of many big steps in your career. As Dean says, this is just the beginning. But don’t set the bar too high. It’s already high enough as it is. We’ll never be able to see you all the way up there 😉

Take care and best wishes in your upcoming endeavours.

Allan

Best wishes from France.
We enjoyed to read you and encouraged french physiotherapists to visit your blog.

Thanks for your work and have a lot of “friday fun”

Estelle and Jean Christophe Villiot-Danger
