I appreciate the Medlib-L list through MLA/UVM but I REALLY wish it was not only used for ILL requests #medlibs

Clinical librarian. I like learning new things and complaining about the stuff I already know
Looking forward to starting an online Graduate Certificate in AI Applications for Health Sciences at Northeastern University's Bouvé College of Health Sciences in the winter!
#Medlibs, what would you want to learn from a presentation about AI vocabulary, teaching AI, and critical appraisal of AI tools and output?
TIL Scielo database retooled itself and there is no longer an "advanced search" option available on the homepage... only once you run a search. #medlibs
Any examples of slides or instructional materials about OpenAlex? #medlibs
What are some ways AI was working in the background of databases and other scholarly sources that are overshadowed by GenAI? #medlibs
How would one cite an exhibit they wrote labels for in APA for their CV? #libraries #libsky
People who use AI outside of necessity are the same people who'd go check out that noise in a haunted house
I used to use Google Advanced search for grey lit, but they updated it... and made it WORSE #medlibs
The title doesn't seem to match the abstract. Thought I was losing it for a second: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41641141/ #medlibs
Is NatMed Pro down for other librarians? #medlibs
"However, Dr Lee has failed to declare another conflict of interest, which is his involvement with the defence team for convicted nurse serial killer, Lucy Letby, and specifically, that this review paper was written to bolster arguments calling for Ms Letby’s release from jail."

Learned a new word today while doing research for a patron: "commensality"
You can actually avoid AI completely and your work won't suffer a wink, believe it or not
I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.
Has anyone taught Business Source Complete (or Ultimate) to their medical/clinical audience? if so, how did you approach it? I may or may not use it in combination with the healthcare administration database #medlibs
That scene in S2 E1 of The Pitt where the patient is hitting on Mel and she's totally oblivious is extremely ace coded. I think every acespec person has had an experience like that. I'm sure this isn't what the show is going for, bc no one ever does acespec characters, but I'm head canoning it.
Does anyone have a Library 101/Library Tools for clinicians/healthcare providers class that they are willing to share the materials for? #medlibs
When an article only exists in Web of Science but not anywhere else: The efficacy and safety of stair step protocol of clomiphene citrate and letrozole in ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): randomized controlled clinical trial (www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/fu...)
That's too many articles
@bibliolagus.bsky.social · last yr.In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. They're a project manager, but I think theirs works for #medlibs who do evidence synthesis too. But to continue the game, "New interface with AI"
My not so nice opinion of people who want to use AI for everything is "why do it at all then if you won't put original thought and any effort into it?"
Excited to stop by the Graphic Novels & Comics Round Table booth at NY Comic Con next week
Just learned that EndNote Click (fka Kopernio) no longer works on Firefox! Why didn't any one tell me sooner?!

Whenever I feel really tired at work and can't pinpoint why, I soberly remember it's because we are expending so much energy on trying to live "normally" in abnormal times.
#Medlibs, what search alerts do you for research topics you're interested in? Currently, I only have one for AI and clinical applications.
Happy Friday the 13th! Thanks to the DeDuplicator on SR-Accelerator for revealing the true number of results (went from 689 to 666) #medlibs
New fear unlocked everytime I attend a noon report for internal medicine
