Jack, I just clicked through to your website. When I hovered over the url, I read <a href="http://healthelib.typepad.com" rel="nofollow">http://healthelib.typepad.com</a> as "heal the lib." That's a bit different than your focus as "Health E-Lib." But either way, your site is a great resource. Thanks. Ha… Jack, I just clicked through to your website.

Waking up three hours later than Globe reporters is no reason to slack off. I think one reason the Globe picked this up is because <a href="http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/?p=153" rel="nofollow">some libraries</a> here have faced serious budget shortfalls. But to me, public library use in Silicon Valley certainly sounds like a story - I say approach them and see what happens. Hey, contact them and tell them to get on the stick.
