New Leadership for Flat Maggie Blog and welcome to the new Library Manager

I would like to share that it has been a tremendous privilege and joy for me to have been involved in beginning the world's first blog devoted to nursing research and evidenced based nursing some 3+ years ago.


An enormous thank you to our entire blog team for their dedication to the continued improvement in the quality of our blog is in order. Nursing Research: Show me the Evidence! is truly a team effort . I will miss our entire team and wish everyone in the wider world of nursing research the best of everything. I will be retiring on August 6 after 31 years in my position as Library Manager of Burlew Medical Library, St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, California. My husband and I will be pursuing our twin loves of travel and all things "ballroom dancing". We, of course, also relish the thought of spending more time with our families, our garden, our cameras and our BOOKS!! We will also serve as volunteer couriers for the National Bone Marrow Association and I hope to involve myself in literacy training.



Please allow me to introduce Danielle Linden, MLS, AHIP as both our new Library Manager and the new administrator for our nursing research blog. Danielle received her BA in Anthropology from UCLA and her Master of Library and Information Science Degree from San Jose State University. Professionally certified by the Medical Library Association’s Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP) at the senior member level, Danielle has been actively involved in both the Medical Library Group of Southern California and Arizona as well as the Medical Library Association. Danielle’s experience includes working as a medical librarian in both academic and hospital environments. She is an experienced searcher and instructor in a wide variety of databases. She has a special interest in library services and resources for nurses and notably has presented a poster entitled “Incorporating Library Resources into an Undergraduate Nursing Program Wiki.” Danielle runs marathons for fun and has an outgoing, engaging personality.
