…Even if you took it last time! From MLA-Focus:
SNSTF Survey: We Want to Help MLA Members Connect! The Task Force on Social Networking Software is charged with investigating issues involved in implementing blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, and social networking tools for MLA and its units. Last year’s survey helped us understand your needs and led to the creation of the “Web 2.0 101: Introduction to Second Generation Web Tools” course.
Whether or not you took our previous task force survey, it is important that we hear from you in this survey. Because these technologies evolve so rapidly, we know that opinions are also rapidly changing. We want to see what you think now.
Please take a few minutes before July 31 to fill out the online survey. Your data will affect the task force’s recommendations on MLA members’ social networking needs. Thank you in advance for your participation!

The 2009 Local Assistance Committee (LAC) started the MLA ‘09 Wiki with information about arts and cultural attractions in Honolulu and around the islands, the meeting hotel, and financing your trip to MLA ‘09. Anyone can contribute.
Congratulations to Susan Cleveland, MLS, Library Director at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, NJ, who won an NN/LM Middle Atlantic Region technology improvement award for kiosks that will be in the ER, the third floor waiting room and the library. They’ll provide consumer health information in English and Spanish at the start, with expansion to other languages as requests increase. Sue is assembling the kiosks herself, sourcing components and cabinets and using patient education materials from several vendors as well as the NIH/NLM site.
The NN/LM offers tech awards up to $7,500 for the purchase, installation, and/or upgrading of information technologies that enhance access to health information. A list of recent awardees is at the MARquee. All MAR members are eligible to apply for these awards. The call for the next round of funding will be late Summer or early Fall.
David Rothman set up a GroupTweet for MLA2008.
There are a number of medical libraryfolk using Twitter, so I thought it might be fun if we were able to conveniently send each other short messages during MLA 2008. All I had to do was set up the MLA2008 account and register it with GroupTweet.
His easy to follow instructions for getting started are at davidrothman.net.
