As UCSF migrates to Moodle or Sakai for its course management system, UCSF librarians and faculty could host an innovative collection of blogs and wikis in which students develop and refine their skills in literature searching, critical appraisal, and evidence-based healthcare. The wikis would be anarchic "sandboxes" where anything goes, while the blogs would be more formal spaces for students to share their thoughts and learn from each other.
To support this PLoS ONE approach to medical education, librarians could gradually build a "master" online curriculum that students would access in discrete amounts. Online access to this curriculum could be controlled by slide bars, similar to the PubMed Slider Interface.
These are both major, somewhat daunting endeavors. In a pinch, just remember: "perpetual beta."
So far I have only focused on access to text. There are many other products that librarians could provide access to, such as podcasts of lecture series.
