Thanks to the folks at Thomastown Library for hosting my two sessions as well as all the great people at CAVAL and the State Library of Victoria.
Thanks everyone for a great first day of presentations. I really enjoyed talking with the attendees in the morning session and the staff of Macquarie University Library in the afternoon. I caught a nasty bug on the plane that has taken a bit of wind out of my sails, but I’m feeling better now. 🙁

Welcome Originally uploaded by mstephens7 Arrived safe and sound. I look forward to the first presentations on Tuesday. Off to enjoy summer! (Sorry Chicago folk)
Don’t miss the newly remodeled Swiss Army Librarian, I’ve really enjoyed some recent posts about open source, book suggestion links and a category devoted to reference questions. Social media in the 1990s – remember the days? The ALA Code is Not Enough: Fascinating thinking from the Other Librarian. Adding to course readings.
I read with interest this article at U.S. News &World Report: Professor, Day in the Life After that, you check out an online discussion that’s part of an Internet class you’re teaching.

Finally, you get to work on a textbook chapter you’ve been […]

Via Sean: http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/23516.wss It seems IBM is getting into designing 2.0 applications with UCLA students. Here’s the part of the article that really caught my eye: Choose Your Own Technology Adventure at UCLA To help prepare students for the ongoing demand for open computing skills is a class project IBM pioneered for UCLA’s CS130 Computer Science class. “Choose your own (technology) adventure” operates on a simple principle — harnesses students’ interest-areas to shape the coursework rather than on standard textbooks and syllabi. Selecting from open technology areas, students propose their own course projects, ranging from a mobile phone mashup that […]
