Phil Bradley’s Library Weblog Feeds

Phil Bradley’s Library Weblog Feeds Originally uploaded by mstephens7. http://philbradley.typepad.com/phil_bradleys_weblog/2006/10/library_weblog_.html Phil writes: This is by way of an experiment really. I have created a publically available page at Pageflakes listing 30 or so Library/Librarian weblogs. All you need to do is vist the page, click on the little half diamond on the right of each title and see the recent postings, click and read. You don’t have to be a Pageflakes user either.

The SLJ Leadership Summit: Learning in the 21st Century: The Role of the Library Media Program

Michael Porter on Flickr

Via Jenny: http://www.llrx.com/columns/tao8.htm Connie Crosby interviews Michael porter about Flickr: So, the Libraries and Librarians Group is the biggest, most active and successful library related group on Flickr. From its inception, it has been a real joy to work with the folks who have decided to make it a “living” online community. I have learned so much from the images I’ve seen there and the people I’ve met in this group. My fellow group administrators and I have been able to set up collaborative group tagging projects and a group mash-up project too. I’ve even have had the opportunity to […]

Off to Rochester…then to Monterey…

These are the follows from the public library in Delft that are doing some most cool things with video: http://tametheweb.com/2006/10/videocasting_at_delft_pl.html They’ve been taping interviews with librarians, snippets of the sessions and spreading the good word about user-generated content.
