Although the Medical Profession is a mystery to me, David Rothman is unraveling this mystery through his informative posts. He also peppers his blog with funny youtube videos, helpful links, and his personal opinions regarding new technologies…If you are looking at medical librarianship as a career David Rothman will perhaps help you along your way.
David describes himself as such…


“After working at managing information as a Business Analyst for Target and a a Business Systems Analyst for eBenX/SHPS, David Rothman now works as the Information Services Specialist at the Community General Hospital Medical Library, managing the day-to-day operation of the CGH Medical Library.”


The one feature that seems to wow everyone about David’s site is the Google operated search engine that you can find medical evidence, or handouts for teaching classes, and writing papers…this is a truly fantastic feature and really demonstrates what the difference between a old-fashioned Librarian, and today’s mysterious title Information Scientist.

Check out David’s site for a great list of medical wikis, consumer health articles, history of medicine search engines, and so many more tools of the Medical Librarian trade.
