Greetings from PLA Symposium! I have no connection in the meeting rooms but I am making notes to post here. Yesterday I spent 3 hours with 200 librarians listening to Stephen Abram’s talk “Finding Oz.” It was incredible. Jenny wrote: Also, I’ve decided that Stephen Abram is the library world?s Jeff Jarvis. He ?gets? everything – the whole enchilada ? and he?s incredibly good?at articulating it! When Stephen talks, you?d better listen! I wholeheartedly agree. I wrote on my evaluation that every PLA member should hear Abram’s message. This is the future folks…get ready!

I want to be a top notch trainer and provide the sort of support that helps libraries grow, thrive and evolve. I also really want to be the sort of ?next generation? librarian that ?gets it? and has an important role in ?making it happen? all the while improving the role of the library in the communities they serve, despite how large the changes and challenges we face might be. Thanks Libraryman! You really inspire me!

My organization absolutely does not allow IM. In fact – I needed it for a training class and had to petition my boss, the head of IT, and others for permission. I got permission to use it for a specific amount of time – the duration of the […]
