“Discovery Problem: Why It's
So Hard to Find New Podcasts”

According to Sally Gore, a librarian,
Librarians can measure their impact on broader metrics including social
media, & podcast downloads
- From her poster handout* at MLA conference *“The Library’s Biggest Resource: Expanding Traditional Metrics to Better Measure the Value of the Librarian” Sally Gore, Poster presented at Medical Library Association Annual Meeting, (Chicago) May 2014. -- [Based on the Becker Medical Library Model for Assessment of Research Impact, Sarli, C.C. & Holmes, K.L., Wash Univ. School of Medicine, St. Louis, Mo. Updated 2014.] https://becker.wustl.edu/impact-assessment/model]

“There is a role for … a shepherd through the morass of new media. There’s no one
piecing out what the best information is …”
55
Podcasts transmit “all the little tips & tricks & learning
to take something from published research to
implementation” -- from interview on
soundcloud.com/podcastsinthesquare
57
“Ask your nurses to give you
a syringeful … I just take it
right from the phentonyl drip …”
-- from Emcrit podcast
58
Podcasts are “superior to … journal articles [in some
ways].” I have the numbers of listeners & e-mails saying
how I change physicians’ behavior

More than the Q & A you get from conferences. “People can
talk to you after you talk to them [using social media] … when I publish it’s already
been acid-tested.”
