Welcome to a new information technology column called ‘‘Social media for health librarians’’ for the JCHLA/ JABSC. Over the next year or so, I plan to write about social media and the effects of Web 2.0 tools on our information practices. I hope you find the column a more casual read (i.e., less academic) than previous teaching and learning columns. My goal is to engage health librarians about the tools and trends of Web 2.0 and to raise topics for debate with your peers. Feel free to engage me in debate also. E-mail your questions and send suggested topics such as medicine 2.0, health 2.0, or even health librarian 2.0. For now, let’s leave all of the Web 2-point-ohs for later. (See Appendix A for quick definitions of these terms.) Let’s begin by talking about time — what other health librarians tell me is the single largest barrier to their use of social media. As a health librarian who follows social media very closely, I realize that time is a significant barrier for many of you and that these barriers also prevent appropriate evaluation of tools. I also realize that if it comes down to spending your collections budgets or evaluating Twitter, there is no contest — collections come first. But Twitter’s rise in particular reminds me of the hoopla around Google Scholar when it was first released; do you recall how many librarians spoke out against using it [1–2]? Would any of us now deny that Google Scholar is extremely valuable in the health librarian’s toolkit, indeed any librarian’s toolkit? The realization that Twitter, like Google Scholar, is valuable is certain to come with time. Social networking presents its own quirks for health librarians — and a tendency to drain more of our time. And the ruse is that to use social media well, you need to build a network of people to create the network effect. The network effect (Metcalfe’s law) states that the more people you have in your network, the more useful it becomes [3]. On Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, I follow ,1000 people. I can’t follow all of these people closely but am getting to know about 5% of my network. I follow people from around the world and anyone who can teach me something. If someone is not providing value to me, I quietly stop following them. I am regularly asked how I monitor so many social tools while maintaining a full-time position at the UBC Biomedical Branch Library. How do I find time to evaluate the tools? I’m also asked what my opinion is on social media’s long-term prospects. Is social networking a passing fad? And even — as a busy academic health librarian at Vancouver General Hospital, why do I blog and tweet? For me, social media is primarily about two things: lifelong learning and promoting the profession. I firmly believe health librarians should be thinking about the implications of social media in the information age but also using it to tell our stories. Moreover, I think social media is a natural ally for lifelong learners. My use of social media directs
