I wanted to explore different special libraries and what better way then perusing the blogging world? I came across the Welch Medical Library which is the library that serves Johns Hopkins University, a pretty prestigious university. Based on first scanning the blog entries, this libraries seems very active with the students, librarians and community. They look like they have a lot of fun on the job, posting videos and creating challenges and contests. They post at least 2-3 days a week which I find interesting. They also create a monthly podcast about new items or features in the medical library. They post features on navigating through medical databases and using the various tools that will help students in their studies. It’s an interesting set up of a medical library in a larger academic world.
