Proposed Meeting and Collaboration

In the wake of the success of our joint efforts on World AIDS Day, and in the spirit of collaboration embodied by Second Life, we invite HIV/AIDS groups, activists, health professionals, organizations, and educators to participate in a meeting to discuss our shared interests and explore ways we might ensure the success of our collective work.

The tentative goals of this meeting are to:

• identify areas where we can collaborate
• identify ways to coordinate our outreach, support, marketing, and education efforts
• form a community of support that transcends SL and RL boundaries

Recent talk on Consumer Health Librarianship

This presentation was given February 4, 2009, at the Preconference for the 2009 Association of American Publishers / PSP Annual Conference. I'm posting it here as my first attempt at creating a video from a slideset. Please pardon my voice in this - I had the flu when I recorded it (though not while I presented in Washington, D.C.)!
