Hello!  I'm Nancy Peterson from the Denver Medial Library, and I'm playing in the Sandbox again.  My library's website is http://www.denvermedlib.org/ .  Everyone, make a good day!  :-)

 

 

Hello. Thought I’d get my hands and feet dirty and play in the sandbox. My library's web page is  www.ttuhsc.edu/libraries.

 

 

Hello, everyone.  I'm Rebecca Raszewski, Assistant Information Services Librarian at University of Illinois at Chicago.  I am a liaison to the College of Nursing and write a blog called Nursing Tips and Tricks.  If you subscribe to it, you actually will receive other entries besides nursing because the nursing section is a category in UIC's blog.  I love Wikis but miss working in them like I used to. 

 

Hello all--greetings from Houston Texas.  I work at the HAM-TMC Library  and I am very interested in learning more about wikis. Like most of you, I took  the Web 2.0 MLA class and enjoyed it. I manage three library publications. You can visit/browse our publications at: http://resource.library.tmc.edu/publications/

Thanks for offering this course. 

 

Hello from sunny and warm Phoenix.  It is a great day here and I hope to get some gardening done at home. I do love our botanical garden (http://dbg.org/)...and take classes there often.  I am working on a non public wiki to plan a family vacation; going fairly well. Jacque Doyle

 

Good Thursday afternoon from Lee Clemans-Taylor in Huntsville Alabama!  I am just getting started on Exercise 2 this afternoon--hope I can catch up!  I took the MLA CE like many of you and enjoyed it very much, however I need more practice with using a wiki, so signed up for this class and it's helping.  In looking over resources for Exercise 1, I noticed many sites that had not been updated in months.  One of the articles I read emphasized looking for resources with daily activity and that appeared to be cared for!  Those attributes point to a wiki satisfying a real need or interest (for what could be a short term project or an ongoing one).  Thanks for the opportunity to keep learning!  I'm editing my paragraph here because I didn't add a link the other day.  My library website is not complete, but here is a link to our SOM website.  You can get to the Huntsville branch campus from there by taking a few twists and turns!   http://medicine.uab.edu

 

 

Working in a hospital library can limit web 2.0 usage as patient information has to be protected at all costs.  I.T. has to approve most everything.  Nevertheless, I have used delicious to bookmark sites we recommend, I set up a private Wetpaint wiki for the Internal Medicine residency but enthusiasm waned when we realized there could be no remote access to articles posted on the private wiki and residents would have to log into yet one more place.  I also set up a private wiki for the reference librarians but have not gotten as much collaboration from my colleagues as I hoped for. I keep learning and teaching my colleagues what I can. -- Ellen Justice

 

Hello from Bonnie Maky Rosen, formerly of Kaiser Permanente Ohio. I decided to try to edit my entry from two days ago, but I'm not sure this is going to work.  Does this mean I am changing history?  I hope to put some of this knowledge to work on the MLANO wiki I created for the web 2.0 class.

 

Hey there - this is Andrea Castrogiovanni. I'm the Assistant Branch Manager at the Olney Library (Montgomery County, MD -- www.montgomerycountymd.gov/library). I also work part-time at Doctors Community Hospital as their Medical Librarian (www.dchweb.org). This is my first interaction with wikis -- already learning alot. :-) Cheers!

 

Hi from New Jersey! This is the second "Dig Deeper" course I am taking. How wonderful that MLA provides us with this opportunity!-Elaine Goldman, Dover Business College Library.

 

Hi from Philadelphia! I participated in MLA's on-line course,  Web 2.0 101: Introduction to Second Generation Web Tools, and created the page, PMCLibrary's Bookmarks, on Delicious. I am glad MLA is continuing with these classes. The classes are a great way to learn. Rebecca Landau, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center.

 

Bonjour!  I'm Sandy Gekosky.  You can find me at work in Alden Library, Ohio University.  OU is located in Athens, Ohio.  I am a Reference & Instruction Librarian, working in Health Sciences.    Please come and visit me if you are ever in Athens! 

 

Hi, this is Marilyn Teolis from Nashville.  I have used Wikis in the 2.0 class, but I think is is more fun to add to an existing wiki than to start a new one.  The library web site is being redesigned, so I don't have one to share at this time.  

 

Hello, all, especially my SCC colleagues -- looks like we are well represented!  I just realized today that I had skipped this introductory step.  When all else fails, read the instructions . . . .  It's raining in Fort Worth today, for the first time in looong time.   - Clayton Crenshaw, Univ. of North Texas Health Science Center

 

Hi.  I'm also late joining the group.  It has been an unexpectedly busy week at work.  This is also my first serious foray into wikis.  So far I am finding it rather frustrating.  Lisa Kilburn from the Southern Regional AHEC.  www.southernregionalahec.org/students/iac.html

 

Hi All:  I'm late joining the group - password issues.  I'm in the Reference Dept. at the Univ. of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Library in Little Rock.  This is my first foray into wikis and so far I've learned a lot just by attempting to navigate on the site.  We too are having psychotic weather.  Two days ago we're in the 80's and today it is sleeting on my house.  I personally am ready for the tulips to start blooming!  - Susan Steelman

 

Ah, I finally have access to the page so long as Mark stays away... - Mike Coffman from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Library. (crossing his fingers)

 

Now that things have calmed down a bit I will try my hand at editing in the Sandbox. Boy, things can be brutal in here :)! -Shari | Head, Reference | University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Bird Library.

 

Mark, stop it.  I need to do my work and save! -Joy  :-(   This is my libary's home page.    (We have to do everything as a team here).  If  you were compelled to tell me I have the link spelled wrong....I know.   Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.

 

 

Hi, my name is Mark. No steal lock. (My library web page!!!!)

No stop... Keep working Mark!!!

 

Hi, from Morrisville, VT. I am a solo HS librarian in a small,25 bed , critcal access, rural hospital in north central Vermont. Spring is attempting to move in. However we always hope to get warm days and cold nights to get good sap runs and don't mind the colder nights. I have been exploring the wiki info and find it intersting but am still getting used to navigating. These classes have certainly gotten me interested in the social media that out there and I have been reluctant to explore. Stacy Wein

 

Hi people, I'm Shannon Jones from Richmond, Virginia. Just like many of you I completed the Web 2.0 course in 2008. While I had a little experience with web 2.0, the web 2.0 really peaked my interest in learning more about how libraries are using the tools to enhance library services. Shannon Jones - Head, Outreach Services, Tompkins-McCaw Library for the Health Sciences, VCU Libraries

Salutations from chilly Wisconsin as I await whether or not the forecast blizzard actually hits or not.  I did not take the Web 2.0 class, but did participate in the Minnesota-sponsored "23 Things On A Stick" (refers to the fact that the Minnesota State Fair features an abundance of foods on a stick).  Here is a link to the blog I created as part of that exercise cat-itudes.blogspot.com .  And for those who are interested, here is a link to our library

We don't have an external webpage for our library, but our hospital webpage is www.wvhcs.org.

I'm currently doing the '23 Things' program as well as this one. I've messed about with Web 2.0 applications in the past, but want to look more into how they work and how they can be included in my work and the services I provide. It is Autumn and 28c outside.

Greetings from Sunny Florida! I'm down here in Miami Florida where I'm figuring out how wikis and other Web 2.0 components can be incorporated into my teaching. I think there is a lot of room for new technologies, but the best ways to use them in the curriculum is another story.

Hey Pocky Way...MH

Hi, from Craig, Colorado in Northwestern Colorado. I work at the VA in Grand Junction, Colorado. I am in Craig visiting our Out Patient Clinic tomorrow. Craig often has some of the coldest temperatures in the US. Tonight it is supposed to go down to 5 degrees. Grand Junction, on the other hand was balmy today. Here is a link to a blog I have created for the Learning 2.0 class going on in the Midcontinental Region right now http://lifeofaharriedlibrarian.blogspot.com/

Hi I'm Vedana from Miami Florida. I'm an academic medical librarian. Down here we're experiencing winter which means the nights can get down into the 50s. I'm originally from Buffalo NY so yes I am laughing at that. I used wikis a lot in classes in library school, but was curious how I could incorporate them into teaching the medical students and working with faculty. That is why I am taking this class.

 

Hi! Marie Ascher here, scrambling to catch up. I'm the Head of Reference & Information Services at New York Medical College in Valhalla, NY (about 30 minutes north of Manhattan in Westchester County). Here's our website: http://library.nymc.edu  We do have a couple wikis up and running, using pbwiki. We have an internal one we use for committee meeting minutes and planning documents and departmental docs that it's convenient to access to from anywhere. And we have developed one external one for one of our programs which allows us to collaborate with faculty and staff of that program to provide information resources to trainees. That can be viewed here: http://lend-leadd.pbwiki.com/

 

Hello! My name is Lori Graham.  I am the solo librarian at Jameson Health System Library at New Castle PA.  The students of the Jameson Memorial Hospital School of Nursing are on Spring Break but it did not slow down for me.  I was hoping it would.  I also am the Assistant CME Coordinator for the Hospital.  We had our re-accreditation visit with PA Medical Assoc. on Tuesday.  I also came down with Bronchitis to add to the stress.  My goal in this is figure out how as a solo librarian, how I can utilize a wiki page.  I set one up with the Web 2.0 Class last year.  Just hoping to see how it works.  http://www.jamesonhealthsystem.com is the Health System's website but the Library only has an intranet website.

 

I am Judy Burnham from the Univ of South Alabama Biomedical Library.  I have had some experience with wikis, especially with WetPaint, but am always eager to learn more.  We have developed a wiki for heath care resources that we call the Medical Matters wiki.  We have invited our faculty to edit the wiki, but not many have.

Judy! love your PT wiki! - already sent it to some of our PT faculty. -- Molly Knapp

 

Working in a hospital library can limit web 2.0 usage as patient information has to be protected at all costs. I.T. has to approve most everything. Nevertheless, I have used delicious to bookmark sites we recommend, I set up a private Wetpaint wiki for the Internal Medicine residency but enthusiasm waned when we realized there could be no remote access to articles posted on the private wiki and residents would have to log into yet one more place. I also set up a private wiki for the reference librarians but have not gotten as much collaboration from my colleagues as I hoped for. I keep learning and teaching my colleagues what I can. -- Ellen Justice

 

Hi.  My name is Margaret Henderson.  I work in the Tompkins-McCaw Health Sciences Library at Virginia Commonwealth University.  I hope to learn how to make my genetics wiki more useful to the students I teach. geneticsvcu.wetpaint.com/  I would love to have comments from all of you, so please feel free to sign up. Thanks.

 

Scampering in soooo late to the party!  Hi Hi...waves to everyone!  This is actually my second time on a wiki, and my first (on wetpaint) just didn't thrill me.  This looks more promising!  Have a great weekend.  Micki in NJ     www.healthynj.org
