We’re Doing a Signing in Texas! Originally uploaded by mstephens7. Jenny and I are presenting “Library 2.0: User-Centric Technologies and Environments” Thursday morning at the Texas Library Association from 10:15am until 11:50. Afterward, ALA TechSource has asked us to swing by the booth (Booth # 2741) and sign copies of our Library Technology Reports. I signed at ALA MidWinter and it was fun meeting the folks who stopped by. If you are attending TxLA, please stop by and say HI. Web 2.0 & Libraries Gaming & Libraries AND I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of the […]
MedLine, circa 1978 Originally uploaded by Johnjron1. “Computers help librarians provide information.” Don’t miss John Ronald’s set of “Librariana.” He emailed me a note yesterday pointing to the set and this image of early MedLine access. We’ve come a long way.
$.50 per 15min for Internet access Originally uploaded by Travelin’ Librarian. Read the fine print. I am really wondering what has prompted this library to offer access for .50 for 15 minutes with no CD, USB or “Excel, Adobe…” etc. Follow the other links as well. Can someone fill me in? I’ll be using this in class when we discuss access and “library as place.”
My heart is breaking that I will miss Ellyssa Kroski’s presentation at CIL on Monday, April 16th. THIS IS ONE NOT TO MISS! http://infotangle.blogsome.com/2007/04/02/information-design-for-the-new-web/ Information design for the Web has changed. People are changing the way that they consume online information, as well as their expectations about its delivery. The social nature of the Web brings with it an expectation of interaction with information and modern Web design is reflecting that. There are now alternate forms of navigation including the ability to browse by user, tag clouds, tabbed navigation etc. Advances in technology along with these shifts in user expectations […]

The iPhone sent me a note Originally uploaded by mstephens7. Thanks for signing up. You’ll be the first to hear the latest about iPhone— coming this June. That gives you just enough time to think of ways to break the news to your current phone. No worries about breaking the news to the Sidekick. It’s already been told its days are numbered. 🙂
synching a pda Originally uploaded by Meg Canada. Meg Canada interwiewed me for a YALS article the week. In the course of our IM discussion she mentioned a school she just visited in San Francisco that gives students PDAs and has sync station in the school. I found an older article about it here: http://www.pdastreet.com/articles/2001/8/2001-8-28-High-School-Using.html The other thing Meg told me about is they do not filter the computers there. They’ve adopted a commitment to “wise freedom.” One of the goals of the school is to educate students to achieve “personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom.” I wonder […]
