Greetings from McGill University! My name is Geneviève Gore and I am a Liaison Librarian at the Life Sciences Library.
I believe our communities could always benefit from increased communications, and I think I was asked to post in English to this blog to encourage participation in both languages. Please feel free to respond to me in French (I can of course reply in kind). I hope that writing in English will not cause offense as that is of course not at all the intention, and if ever any translation would be helpful, please feel free to ask me.
Many of you will have access to a special issue on evidence-based medicine published in the Southern Medical Journal (some of the articles are freely available, others require a subscription). The one hyperlinked article was co-authored by a librarian and may be of particular interest.
