I started a post yesterday, but it wasn’t coming together for me in my usual word-flowing way, so I put it aside with every intention to finish it today. Today, however, found me in an all-day continuing education class taught by one of my profession’s well-known and well-followed clinical medical librarians, Michelle Kraft (aka The Krafty Librarian). Michelle has been at the forefront of social media for as long as I’ve been a librarian, using whatever tools were available at the time to spread a wealth of good information to the masses. This kind of innovative spirit made her a great choice of the NAHSL CE Committee when they sought a speaker for a course on “The Evolving Librarian.”
Per what is now my usual practice, I took sketchnotes during the class. With Michelle’s permission, I share them here. Hopefully, you can follow along with no annotation from me, after all, if you can’t, they aren’t very good notes. And besides, it’s late on a Friday afternoon. I only have so much typing left in me for the week. The only comment that I will make is that the notes represent a combination of Michelle’s thoughts and my commentary. Feel free to guess which is which:
A Librarian by Any Other Name 
You have CONVINCED me to combine my undergrad degree in studio art with health sciences librarianship!
Ah!!! You have CONVINCED this health sciences librarian to use her undergrad degree in studio art!
Yay!!! And I want you to share your sketchnotes once you get into doing them. 🙂
Do you have a url to the Ted talk you mentioned? I love the link to NIHPromis.org!
Hi Traci,
I need to follow-up with my colleague who mentioned that during the day. He left before I had the chance. I’ll be sure to share it when I get it.
