https://carricklass.wordpress.com/2014/06/16/the-art-of-midwifery-improvd
The Art of Midwifery Improv’d. This blog from the New York Academy of Medicine fits in with Medical Library Matters. Midwives are an important group within the Medical Library users, both midwifery students and qualified midwives. I’m sure they’d be amused to think that ‘the pelvic bones separate during childbirth, or that the fetus is born through it’s own strenuous efforts! Books, Health and History. During the fall 2013 semester, Hunter College students in Professor Daniel Margocsy’s. 1,242 more words.

https://carricklass.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/library-shorts-a-new-series-of-bite-sized-lunch-time-talks
Library Shorts: a new series of bite-sized lunch time talks. We have tried walk-in sessions for specified time periods, but the uptake was negligible. Wondering if these sessions would be more so? University of Glasgow Library. Take some time out at lunch time to keep yourself up to date with topics ranging from open access, through our map collections, to tips on accessing exam papers. All talks start at 12.15. And will last for no more than 30 minutes. Thursday 29th January: Open Access. Jan 15, 2015.

The other side of life | Medical Library Matters
https://carricklass.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/the-other-side-of-life
The other side of life. In September 2014, bravely or foolishly I enrolled for the Library Management Course, a course I should have undertaken years ago…but life happens… and here I am, a student again! Constantly time managing, or juggling with time: evaluating what I need to do versus what I’d like to do; weighing up what’s important to me and what I can ‘put on the long finger’, ‘rud a chur ar an mhéar fhada’… an Irish expression equivalent to prevarication. Thomas’ definition is:. Mar 22, 2015.

The Talented Dr. Knox | Medical Library Matters
https://carricklass.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/the-talented-dr-knox
The Talented Dr. Knox. A lazy way, perhaps of letting you know that “Medical Library Matters” has not gone away! Samuel Beckett is perhaps, not quite Medical, but is such an exciting purchase by Trinity College Dublin. This article on the anatomist who employed Burke and Hare, is closer to home and definitely of interest. Books, Health and History. Engraving of Dr. Robert Knox. From our online collection The Resurrectionists. Replies are welcome Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Follow Blog via Email.

Samuel Beckett’s description of his ailing mother is poignant, beautiful and original | Medical Library Matters
https://carricklass.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/samuel-becketts-description-of-his-ailing-mother-is-poignant-beautiful-and-original
Samuel Beckett’s description of his ailing mother is poignant, beautiful and original. Death and love are the twin towers of all literature, so when someone comes up with an original way of describing one or the other, you have to sit up and take note. Included in the lot is a postcard written while his mother was dying in 1950:. I think she will die in hospital in a week or so. Read the full story at The. The Art of Midwifery Improv’d.

You Have Made Me A Liar (An Alzheimer’s Awareness Post) | Medical Library Matters
https://carricklass.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/you-have-made-me-a-liar-an-alzheimers-awareness-post
You Have Made Me A Liar (An Alzheimer’s Awareness Post). Amy includes some useful links to Alzheimer/dementia resources. It is so true, unfortunately, that few of us aren’t touched by someone with some form of dementia. Each of us has a story, some sad, some funny, but all inevitably tragic as the person we care for disappears. Thank you, Amy. Amy's Scrap Bag: A Blog About Libraries, Archives, and History. The title of this post sounds ominous, doesn’t it? Allow me to explain why I used it. Please log in...

A Little Library History: 1912 Library Director’s Report | Medical Library Matters
https://carricklass.wordpress.com/2015/04/20/a-little-library-history-1912-library-directors-report
A Little Library History: 1912 Library Director’s Report. I came across this wonderful posting from Mr Library Dude, aka Joe Hardenbrook. Love the way Joe has linked it to present day librarianship. Some things don’t change. Libraries are a victim of their own branding – hard to get past the perception of a library as purely a repository of books and librarians doing nothing but shelving them, with a bit of cataloging. Thank you Joe for posting this. Hope you enjoy it too. Authored by Amanda Flattery.
