MLC creates Michigan Libraries Wiki
MLC has just announced that it will be launching a new wiki next week geared towards providing "a useful library wiki for Michigan library staff from all types of libraries." A quick perusal of the wiki shows a lack of special library content. The good news is that content can be added by "Anyone who is able to contribute relevant information specifically related to Michigan libraries...". I'd like to encourage all MDMLG members to consider contributing content relevant to MDMLG and medical libraries.

Peer Review in the Google Age
Did peer review spring from the time of the Inquisition? Is it an essential means of assuring quality - or as relevant today as medieval torture? For some thought-provoking ideas on Peer Review in the Google Age, these recent presentations may be of interest:

Morrison, Heather (2006) Open Peer Review & Collaboration http://eprints.rclis.org/archive/00006017/

Dominy, Margaret and Bradley, Jean-Claude and Bhatt, Jay (2006) Peer Review in the Google Age: Is technology changing the way science is done and evaluated?

Finding an aticle using it's DOI
I am probably the last person in library-dom to have figured out how to locate an article using it's DOI (digital object identifier). The topic of DOI's probably warrants more of a discussion but it's 4:15 p.m. on a Friday and it's not going to happen now. But, just in case I wasn't the last person on the planet to figure this out I thought I'd document it here for posterity:

In your browser type http://dx.doi.org/.

It's that easy!
