The 80/20 Librarian: Focusing on the 20% that matters

In the last few days I found myself looking through the latest Forbes magazine and learned about Doctor Jim Dahle’s blog (there is a book as well) entitled White Coat Investor. Dr. Dahle has been using the blog to provide financial tips to his fellow medical professionals after having been misled by financial professionals whose advice he sought/paid for.  Do we have a librarian that is imitating what Dr. Dahle is doing? It could be a great benefit to our profession.

I should point out that Dr. Dahle’s blog does indicate that he used the library as a resource to help him learn about the financial world. Check out White Coat Investor and let me know what you think.

Yesterday I got a comment on the blog from Lindsey Handley who heads up operations management at LearnToMod (the company that teaches kids how to code using Minecraft). If you are looking to get access to the product see her comment here below. You can also see the commentary at http://wp.me/p2dXjR-4V which has my original blog post.
