Beverly Rossini, Outreach and Information Resources Librarian at the USA Biomedical Library, said the new Biofeedback blog will allow users to view the latest resources via live links from a new blog format. “The blog format is great because it will be published more frequently and will allow for more up-to-date information,” Rossini said. “Our goal is to continue to make our resources more timely and efficient.”
“In its most recent blog format, our Biofeedback readers can now immediately link to E-books, faculty publications, and websites,” Rossini said. “This allows the reader to not only access the information on a first read, but also to return to the blog for continued access to that information.”

* Read about other improvements at the Biomedical Library in the Director's Notes
