Batch 3, originally uploaded by wertheim. I finished my two year stint as chair of the ALA Web Advisory Committee this week. After our meeting, my last duty was to present a brief report to Council on our activities. I want to publicly thank all the members of WAC and the INCREDIBLE ALA ITTS staff for working with me these past two years. I learned so much about the divisions, ALA protocols and the HUGE amount of work that goes on to give ALA web presence. Thanks all! (Thanks to Dr. Andrew Wertheimer for the spiffy pic too!)

(a brief interview between Portland Public Teen Library @justinlibrarian and Portland teen @davidchuphoto) What are you using it for? I’m usually sitting in bed and using it as a computer instead of a laptop. I would go back to a laptop if I got a MacBook. What are your favorite apps?
