In addition
to the blog, we have a dedicated Information Resources Twitter account (@scharrlib),
which focuses on the
latest developments in health and information science. If you're yet to
set yourself up with a Twitter account but think you might be interested
in the information we post, you can visit the following page and
sign-up for our free daily newspaper via paper.li. Or you could simply
visit the page to view the latest content: http://paper.li/scharrlib/1338371438. Not convinced about the benefits of Twitter? Why not read the following blog post by Andy Tattersall about 7 new ways to work in 2013, where you will find a useful overview of the benefits of Twitter in academia.
We also have a YouTube channel called scharrvids, where you will find a whole host of tutorials on subjects such as online reference management tools and useful searching techniques. There is an option to subscribe available from the main page, so you need never miss out on a new video!
