“Application and Usage of Wireless PDAs in a First-Year Medical Curriculum.” By: Joc, Karen; Thompson, Carole; Lovett, Deborah G..
Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries, 2006, Vol. 3 Issue 1, p89-94, 6p;

Abstract: Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) have played an increasingly prominent role in the clinical rotation components (i.e., 3rd and 4th years) of many medical programs. However, to date very few medical schools have actively utilized these devices in the first year of medical studies. This paper will focus on the role librarians played in the implementation of wireless PDAs as a learning tool, into a new first-year medical curriculum. Issues discussed will include: the collaborative selection of a “Gold Standard” suite of PDA software; PDA orientation and training for faculty and students; integration of these devices; student PDA usage; and future directions.

Google Custom Search for WLANs and Libraries

I have been working on my Google custom search engine for WLANs and Libraries.  It is available at http://wirelesslibraries.blogspot.com.  I have integrated the LibWireless list into using the gmane port of the list. It also searches Webjunction, PublicIP.Net, WLAN Central, Wireless Libraries blog, and my old Wireless Librarian website.  I am working on finding a way to include library hotspots from JiWire and other sources.  If you have other websites or even individual web pages that should be added, please send me the URL.  My goals for this search engine are:
  1. Provide a searchable interface to selected resources.
  2. Show how useful Google Custom Search can be.
Also, please give me your input on how useful this search engine is to you.
