Blogging Medical Information Sources to Users: the Case of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti Medical Library

Abstract

The ubiquitous Internet continues to increase sources of information to information seekers in this present age as information are lodged in different web platforms ranging from digital libraries, databases, repositories, and lately social media platforms. More often than not, information seekers are limited in their quest to popular search engines as Google, inadvertently short-changing themselves of the other many sources that search results may not reveal. So, as we were faced with the need to bring our databases and other useful electronic resources together, using a Web 2.0 tool, we deployed the weblog so as to better serve our users and help them gain access to useful information they might have been missing. In this paper, we describedhow we used weblog to meet the need and create access to medical information sources and resources for easy retrieval.
