Moving already!

Okay, we have some issues with the Blog not working for all those who are interested. SOOOO, we're moving to a listserv. The NNLM/NER (National Network of Libraries of Medicine/Northeast Region) has offered to host (THANK YOU!). It will be up & running shortly, so continue to check in here til you hear otherwise. If you want to use a different e-mail address for the listserv, let me know ASAP.
And so it goes....

Journals: Core list for Rehab Hospitals

I am in the process of updating and refactoring the tiers for the journals. To make sure I don't miss anything, please send me your "Top Ten" list (or your "Top 5") so I can ensure that the list is representative of the diverse institutional needs of our group...or at least to the degree that is humanly possible!
Thanks,
Amy

REMINDER TO CHECK IN & POST

The Blog is only as useful as we make it.  So, remember to check in, post, and keep it active.  Chris Sato has an outstanding question upon which you might be able to comment.

Does anyone have the ISI document that gives impact factors for journals (or access to this)?  I'm looking for information relevant to revising my journal list.

Library Setup, etc.

I'm reposting this e-mail from Chris Sato to make sure people get to look at it & send her some feedback:

Hi Amy and allGreat job on this blog. I would really benefit from a core journal list for rehab. Our library is a small one with outdated books and until recently no journals. I am the Manager of HIM (medical records RHIA) and also a librarian (MLIS), so it's a challenge to get this library going on a shoe string budget. We (the Library Committee and Medical Director) are still trying to find the right model (decentralize to the units or centralize resources in the library) -- any ideas /wisdom on this? I'm curious as to others' library setup, usage, staff. Right now, the library is open by appt only. I primarily do the electronic literature searching and document delivery for staff and physicians. I'm with the Rehab Hospital of the Pacific in Hawaii. MLA09 will be here in Honolulu, so looking forward to meeting all of you.
