**Editor's message**

Great news! Beginning with this issue, the *Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association* (JCHLA) is being published as an open access journal. Furthermore, the back files of JCHLA online from Vol. 25(1), 2004 to Vol. 27(1), 2006 will be accessible without a password. As librarians we strive to remove the barriers and provide access to information. Using the open access publishing model, JCHLA will be available to a larger audience, and authors can expect their published work to have a greater impact.

This issue has two interesting feature articles. Shelley Hourston contributed an insightful and entertaining article ti-

tled “Creativity and the resilient health librarian”. Eugene Barsky wrote a second informative article on a very current topic, “Weblogs and podcasting for health librarians”, in his series “Introducing Web 2.0”. Many health librarians are eager to review books for JCHLA, and thank you for your enthusiasm. This issue has three book reviews. As JCHLA Editor I have to be creative and think of ways to extend librarians’ enthusiasm for writing book reviews to include writing papers. Do you have any suggestions to offer?
