Philadelphia Regional Chapter / Medical Library Association
I’m doing the Web 2.0 101 course through MLA. I’m really glad I signed up for this. I’m becoming more familiar with different kinds of Web 2.0 software.
Have any comments about how it’s going? Please let the Chapter know how it’s going through your comments!
I created a LinkedIn account yesterday. If any chapter members have an account, please feel free to add me to your connections. I think it would be a great thing to have Chapter members connect with each other through this course.

The Georgetown University Health Policy Institute has written A Consumer Guide for Getting and Keeping Health Insurance for each state and the District of Columbia. The guides are organized similarly, including a summary of legal protections, information for small businesses and the self-employed, financial assistance options (federal and state), contact information, and more. These guides will be updated periodically. Some guides can be browsed online; all are available as PDF downloads.
The JISC Academic Database Assessment Tool (ADAT) is a new resource to assist librarians in making decisions about purchasing academic databases. This assessment tool compares database platforms, journal title lists of bibliographic and full text databases, and even ebook platforms.
