Partnering with the Science Cafe

The Science Cafe is UCSF's "weekly conversation about the culture, conduct & community of science." It is one way to make science more accessible to the general public. The Science Cafe lectures are podcasts, and could be added to Podcasts@UCSF. As the number of lectures increases, librarians could facilitate social bookmarking. People could see which topics are connected to each other and identify others who share similar interests.

The Legacy Tobacco Documents Library could also explore the use of social bookmarks, as a research endeavor.
