This Week in Graphic Medicine (11/2/18 – 11/9/18)

This Week in Graphic Medicine in a Stranger Things Stylized Font
‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights relevant articles (and tweets) about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary, with credit given to those who flagged them up where possible. So without further ado…


Be Advised…

You’ll notice that this edition is a two-week collection – this time because I am barely staying above water with my workload. But I wanted to make sure to point out that the next month-and-a-half is a heavy period of holiday’s in the US. That means that these posts will become less organized in their posting date/time for a while. I love doing this – but you won’t find me writing up a blog post on Thanksgiving!

I will try to announce oddities ahead of time via Twitter.


Special Note…

Please take a few minutes to let Alice Jaggers and I know what YOU consider to be the most essential graphic medicine titles for library collections using the link below! Do keep in mind that, as a general rule, libraries are unable to purchase/circulate small print comics, zines, webcomics, and the like. There are exceptions, but we are working to develop a tool applicable to ALL libraries.

Matthew’s Pick of the Week…

This week, I invite you to take a look at our own MK Czerwiec’s blog – Happy Inktober! – and see just how far and wide graphic medicine is spreading! MK has been busy – even by academic standards – and I for one loved hearing about all these programs. You might also want to take an hour and watch the recording from a recent panel at UMass Medical School (link in the blog) that librarian Tori Rossetti put together as part of the school’s turn with the NLM traveling graphic medicine exhibit!

And, a second pick since this is a double issue after all, is to highlight that the enormous and highly graphic medicine supportive Wellcome Library has made their catalogue searchable! Now this may well not be new news or even a new feature, but it was highlighted this week and I want to do so as well. Here’s an example, generic keyword ‘graphic medicine’ search.
