No more updates for this blog

2007-05-01T13:42:00.000-02:00

Dear Blog users,

This will be my last update to the Northeast Georgia Hospital Librarian Blog. My last day is today, May 1. I will leave this blog up because most of the people who use this blog use it to gain access to the library resources off of NGHS campus. The links should all be in working order. Unfortunately, the next NGHS Health Sciences Librarian must create his/her own blog because of password issues. I hope that the new librarian can take the information that he/she needs to make another blog.

I have enjoyed working for NGHS.

Thanks,
The Northeast Georgia Hospital Librarian
