Liblog: Newsletter of the Mayo Clinic Libraries

J. Michael Homan received the 2009 Janet Doe Lectureship.  The Janet Doe Lectureship is awarded annually to a Medical Library Association member chosen for his or her unique perspective on the history or philosophy of medical librarianship.

His speech was entitled, “Eyes on the Prize: Reflections on the Impact of the Evolving Digital Ecology on the Librarian as Expert Intermediary and Knowledge Coach, 1969–2009.”  In the clip below, watch a very few snippets from Michael’s talk at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Medical Library Association.

The complete transcript of this lecture will be published in the January issue of the Journal of the Medical Library Association.

Several librarians attending the conference blogged about the talk as well as posted photographs online.  Here are a few:
