LibrarianInBlack

The April 9, 2008 posts by Sarah Houghton-Jan, http://librarianinblack.typepad.com/, on Findability through tagging your website and successful digital marketing are, as always, well worth reading.

Do scroll further down the page for the April 8th post with reviews of topics from the recent Computers in Libraries Conference. Check out the discussions about IM, Facebook, Wikis, Podcasting and the inevitable rebuttal to all of the above.

Healia Communities

Not sponsored by drug companies, as WebMD.com, Healia is funded by the National Cancer Institute/NIH and Meredith Publishing, and is staffed byhealth professionals (all profiles of available on site). In a world where we are bombarded daily with information about health care products, much of which you can count on being refuted or discredited, Healia's editorial transparency and stated commitment to access to health information and support as a fundamental human right, is refreshing. Anyone coping with a health problem or faced with a decision about a medical procedure will probably find a support group at www.healia.com.
