Physician Bloggers Talk to a Medical Librarian

Part IV
Blogger Dr. Kevin is Part of Medicine's New Wave

It is interesting to see that 3 of us recommend the "What's New" section of UpToDate. The other trend is that although we like Google Scholar, Pubmed is still the place for a comprehensive medical search. I think that Dean should do a formal survey among physician bloggers in order to detect interesting trends like the ones above.

KraftyLibrarian also finds some insights in the interviews from a medical librarian perspective.

  1. Please, Is the section "What is new" in UPTODATE reserved nly t subscribers ? This site is not very known here in the Italian Universities, but most of you talk about and recommend it.

    UpToDate access is available to subscribers only. Many hospitals in the U.S.A. have institutional subscriptions that physicians and other employees use while on campus. Individual subscription costs about $ 200 per year.
