Today, I’m in sunny, warm Tucson Arizona to keynote at the University of Arizona’s School of Information Resources and Library Science Library Student Organization Graduate Student Symposium The Information Landscape: Emerging Perspectives. http://www.sir.arizona.edu/lso/symposium06/index.htm Last night, I got to sit in on the Library Student Organization”s meeting and chat with some of the students. Today I’ll attend the Symposium, have lunch and talk about Library 2.0. Then, we’ll head to a reception!
http://www.state.sc.us/jobs/positions/P000019014.html The individual we seek will: Have strong budgeting skills, the ability to reach out to a diverse community, be comfortable with challenging situations and emerging technologies, and the ability to communicate effectively with the staff, the community, and the media. I like the emerging technologies part. From what I’ve seen of the State Library Portal, their new IM reference service, their blogs and from meeting the folks who make it all happen in person, this is one plugged in, 2.0 state library. Dr. Curtis Rogers even Flickr’ed the job!

Jill Hurst-Wahl writes about a recent visit by a TV news crew asking her to talk about Second Life: Below is a link to the news story online as well as the video. It ran in the second spot on the 11 p.m. news, because it was evidently a slow news night. Good for me though. http://www.9wsyr.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=08C5F34B-0836-468F-80D6-5BEC96741B60 The reporter was interested in SL because she had heard a bit about it and then had explored, and just thought it would be a good story. She and I spent nearly an hour together talking and going through SL, so there is […]

I’m serving on the ALA Participation Task Force this year. President Leslie Burger established the ALA Participation Task Force “to develop recommendations for expanding member opportunities, especially for the for the next generation of leaders, to participate in their association in meaningful ways,” according to the document Jim Rettig sent this summer. I just heard that Jim is a candidate for vice-president/president-elect and if elected he will serve as VP in 2007-08 and President in 2008-09. Woohoo! Jim asked the group to envision “ALA 2.0” and asked for submissions by today. Jim put his up at his blog: http://keillor.richmond.edu/blojsom/blog/jrettig/American+Library+Association/?permalink=font-face-Arial-Helvetica-sans-serif-size-2-ALA-2-0-font.html Below […]
