Welcome to our New e-HLbc Coordinator

We're very happy to welcome Megan Crouch, who will be filling the position of e-HLbc Coordinator while Leigh Anne Palmer is on parental leave. Megan was most recently the Health Sciences Librarian / Collections Librarian at Simon Fraser University. She began working at the e-HLbc administrative centre on October 10.

Congratulations, Leigh Anne!

On a related note, we would like to congratulate Leigh Anne Palmer! Her first baby, Jude Michael Snyder Palmer, was born October 17. Both Leigh Anne and Jude are doing well. Welcome, Jude!

New Website Launched

In October, e-HLbc launched a new website to better serve its members and stakeholders! The e-HLbc Administrative Centre worked closely with the local development firm Raised Eyebrow to plan and execute a new consortial website using Drupal. Being open source, scalable, and easily modified, Drupal is a perfect fit for e-HLbc's communication strategy of constant and iterative improvement. The new site provides an interactive and user-friendly platform, and has already received much positive feedback and use.

If you haven't registered for the site yet, please do so at: http://ehlbc.ca/

e-HLbc Votes to Participate in Canadian Virtual Health Library

In winter 2010, e-HLbc was invited to join the Canadian Virtual Health Library (CVHL) as a network subscriber. CVHL is a national collaboration of consortia, aiming to maximize access to resources and services for all Canadian health library users. e-HLbc carefully evaluated the value of this partnership, and recently the Management and Steering Committee decided to accept the invitation!
