Krafty Librarian: Friday Fun: iPad and Its Many Uses

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 10:46:17 -0700

CrunchGear posted a video and paragraph of Japanese doctors using an iPad (check out the “high tech” plastic baggy used as the iPad cover) during surgery. Doctors in a hospital run by Kobe Univeristy used the iPad as a display during a surgical procedure. A link to the video (in Japanese) is on CrunchGear. As CrunchGear notes, this is not the most ”elegant” usage of a new medical device in medicine but it is kind of interesting to see the different applications people find for the iPad, such as dolphin communication. Yes you read that right, dolphin communication. Researchers at Dolphin Discovery’s swim facility in Puerto Aventura, Mexico are using the iPad (and the Panasonic Toughbook) to teach Merlin (2 yr. old bottlenose dolphin) to associate symbols with objects.

Krafty Librarian: MLA’10 Week in Review From the MLA Blog

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:53:17 -0700

Lots of things happened at the meeting and even those of us who were there and blogging had a hard time keeping up, so I thought I would provide a week in review of sorts from the Annual Meeting blog posts. Since bloggers are still adding posts (after MLA) I will add their links to this list as soon as possible.
