Thank you for your comment and for shari...Hi Alison<br />Thank you for your comment and for sharing Jacquelines great blog too. I am glad you liked the post.<br /><br />I always get a little surprised when I discover some Denmark related stuff via an American or Australian but I think it proves the point that ideas are transferable. I also think your example of knowledge being shared across continents is a very good one.<br /><br />I wish I could speak Spanish and I know I miss knowledge by not knowing other languages as well but English is working great as a global library language for me.

I look forward to hearing more about your projects.<br /><br />I want to give a shout-out to Jacqueline, a medical librarian in the Netherlands, who made me realize how much I was missing by not thinking more globally. She blogs here: <a href="http://laikaspoetnik.wordpress.com/about/" rel="nofollow">http://laikaspoetnik.wordpress.com/about/</a> I've learned a lot from her about how to search PubMed, a database that's funded with U.S. tax dollars and is freely accessible around the world (something our government is doing right, IMO).<br /><br />How much great knowledge are we missing by being dumb Americans who only know English?
