An Introduction

Enough lurking! I’m finally going to introduce myself and resurrect the Physio-Blog,

Hi, my name is Suzanne Geba and I’m taking over where Eugene left off. First, let me tell you a bit about myself, and what I hope to bring to this blog.

I am a librarian in a unique position. I don’t work in a physical library, seldom handle books, and serve a specific set of users across the beautiful province of British Columbia: the 1800+ members of the Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia (PABC). Our library is fully digital. At its core is the excellent eHLBC collection of health databases, however, when needed I “borrow” electronic resources from public libraries and academic institutions, and of course find stuff using good old Google.

Reference questions are handled via email or IM (try the “Ask Librarian” chat box when I’m online). I also offer database workshops, provide access to new information technologies and sources, and do my best to keep members up to date with current physio information. That’s my job in a nutshell.

So, what up with the blog? After all, it’s been a few months without a fresh post.

While it is true, that Eugene Barsky (now at UBC) is no longer the author of this blog, his past contributions are still happily with us. Truth be told, blogging in someone else’s shoes is just a wee bit challenging, and it may take some time to find my stride. In the meantime I welcome comments from anyone, anywhere.

Since Eugene’s departure my position is no longer affiliated with the University of British Columbia, and for this reason, the main focus of the blog will be on serving PABC members, but hopefully viewers from all over will continue to visit and find something worth while.

This is simply my intro post, but I will be back soon and on a regular basis. Hi for now!

Suzanne, PABC Librarian
