The best part of ALA for me this year was the tried and true “networking with colleagues” thing. I’ve attended many ALAs, from my first experience in Chicago in 1995 where everything seemed so huge and librarianship was just oh so new to me, through forays in New Orleans, San Francisco (twice, and yes, one time I actually left my heart there) to a sweaty few days in Orlando, where I spent a tad more time with Mickey and Spiderman than I did with librarians and vendors. This ALA was all about conversations. I was fortuante to have sit downs […]
I’ve caught up a bit with that ALA post so i am unplugging to focus on school and relaxation during the next week and a half.

I’ll be back to blogging around the 20th.

For example: Do you have a blogging policy at the library? Does blogging count as publishing/contributing to the field at evaluation time? What collaboration tools does the library use to enhance work? What […]
Thoughts and prayers go out to colleagues and friends in London, England.
Just heard that my colleague, workshop collaborator, and DDR player D. Scott Brandt, has been named Associate Dean for Research at the Purdue Libraries! Hooray! Congrats to Scott!
I heart this: We think of ourselves differently, too, I am finding. We are a scared bunch these days, frightened that we won’t find jobs, now or ever. We’re scared that libraries won’t keep their place in society. Or that they will, and we won’t like it. We’re scared that the generations who are clashing on our staffs won’t ever get along. That the techno-terrified will hold all the rest of us up, or the techies will drag us all kicking and screaming into a future where we will be replaced by machines. And, like many of the librarians I […]
