http://theubiquitouslibrarian.typepad.com/the_ubiquitous_librarian/2006/11/sharing_via_itu.html The Ubiquitous Librarian ponders using iTunes in academic libraries in some pretty darn cool ways: How can libraries use this? Let’s put information literacy to the side for a minute, because sure, you could host tutorials and content about the library (itunes plays videos) but let’s think bigger. Last week we had Maya Angelou give a talk on campus, why not dump that video or podcast into an iTunes library—as well as other speakers and events?

I can’t say it enough: SC State Library has it going on! Hey Indiana State Library, take a look! Dr. Curtis Rogers writes: We are certainly doing some great things here at the state library.

(Getting caught up on some posts here folks) A couple of weeks ago I spent some time in Columbus, Ohio for the Ohio Library Council Management and Administration Conference. My Opening General Session was “The User-Centric Library: What OCLC’s User Perceptions Report Means for Public Libraries,” where we mined some of the OCLC data and discussed ways to impriove the library brand, break down those pesky barriers and adopt a 2.0 philosophy (some of my talking points I’ve used in other talks as well). Another role I played was to move in and out of the various sessions and look […]

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.

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!
