Read Jenny’s post about Ann Arbor. I agree! This is truly an example of cutting edge technology used to make the library a human place with a human face. PLs should look to this model of service, use of technology and sense of community when planning their web presence. And Panlibus agrees: “Just scanning the site gives you the feeling that there are humans behind it. Great site, and yet another exemplar for what can be done, for the rest of the Library world to aspire towards and beyond.”
I’m intrigued by Chad’s idea to create a collective podcast – especially the multiple voices on one topic slant. I look forwrad to hearing the ‘cast on gaming! Take a look: http://www.hiddenpeanuts.com/archives/2005/07/13/librarian-podcast-idea-fleshed-out/

I went to the Traverse Area District Library today to print articles to read for my preliminary research. I finally got to meet Jeff, who works in IT there and who has been an IM buddy for over 2 years. He and David, the head of tech services, took me on a tour of their beautiful library and surroundings! What a nice diversion to hang with some library folk.

The best part of ALA for me this year was the tried and true “networking with colleagues” thing. I’ve attended many ALAs, from my first experience in Chicago in 1995 where everything seemed so huge and librarianship was just oh so new to me, through forays in New Orleans, San Francisco (twice, and yes, one time I actually left my heart there) to a sweaty few days in Orlando, where I spent a tad more time with Mickey and Spiderman than I did with librarians and vendors. This ALA was all about conversations. I was fortuante to have sit downs […]
I’ve caught up a bit with that ALA post so i am unplugging to focus on school and relaxation during the next week and a half. I am writing up my preliminary research proposal, working on a group project and pondering a web survey I’ll tell you about soon. I’m Up North until the 20th of July. Be well. I’ll be back to blogging around the 20th.
Great stuff for Lita Top Tech Trends from Sarah, our dear Librarian in Black.
