…and head home from Monterey in the morning…From Liz Lawley, keynoter and blogger… http://mamamusings.net/archives/2005/10/25/glory_days.php Here at Internet Librarian, I see the next posse hanging in the halls. They?re talking about blogs and flickr and del.icio.us. They?re laughing out loud at the stodginess around them (as well they should), and carving out their own space. And I find that I?m not at all jealous. I love seeing them blaze their own paths, create their own disruptive force. I don?t want to go back to who and where I was fifteen years ago. But I am oh so glad for the friendships […]

Internet Librarian 2005 Public Libraries and Technology Flickr Set (Let the tagging begin…)
Nice post at the Read/Write Web by Richard McManus that picked up on Michael Casey’s post and the Web Panels’ thoughts. In all this arguing over the value or otherwise of the Web 2.0 meme, I’ve almost lost track of what is really important – how Web 2.0 ideas are being implemented in The Real World. I came across a great post by Michael Casey of LibraryCrunch, who is investigating what the Library 2.0 Web site will look like. He pointed to Michael Stephens’ round-up of responses to that question, which are well worth perusing. I liked this one from […]

A companion to a presentation I’m giving at Internet Librarian 2005. Download the big old 10MB file here! Ten Steps to Insure Staff Buy-In for the Technology Projects “Why are we doing this?” A few months ago the Reference staff at SJCPL trained the librarians who would be using IM at their service desks. Katie, who was doing the particular session I heard about, asked the group: “Why are we doing this training?” “IM is cool” Someone said…”IM is so hot right now,” said another (who may read my blog too much!) “Nope,” Katie said. “We are doing this because […]

I’m up early! (J-E-T you are so BAD for me!) and I’m working on a few things for this mornings Public Library track at Internet Librarian 2005. So far this experience has been incredible! I taught 3 workshops over the weekend and got to chit chat with librarians from all over the US as well as Canada AND Copenhagen! Darlene Fichter and I taught “Organizational Weblogs” and my big AHA moment there was the fact that two of the participants were present because their organizations had a blogging initiative in their strategic or long range plans. Do you have such […]

The group assembled for the first presentation of the Public Libraries and Technology Track at Internet Librarian 2005 totally rock. If you are attending the conference, don’t miss this one because hot trends in web design apply to all types of libraries! In addition, the topic of web redesign is HOT right now. This press release points out some fascinating statistics. In planning for the presentation, I emailed the panelists a question. Because Michael Casey’s Library Crunch (add him to your aggregator now, I’ll wait) is one of my favorite reads these days, I asked the panelists this question: What […]
