This struck me: Despite the rapid proliferation of library blogs I was skeptical about their value and doubted that college students were ready for them. Nevertheless, in fall 2004 I began experimenting with a blog for the Paul J. Gutman Library at Philadelphia University. My skepticism, it turned out, was warranted. In an informal survey, I found that fewer than five percent of the respondents had even heard of RSS (real simple syndication) or news aggregators. I still believe our work […]

I am still chuckling over the fun had with this speaker’s gift!
Hurrah! I got to chat with Chris Jowaissis a bit at IL. He is incredible and I’m always glad to see a new post at Technobiblio. http://www.technobiblio.com/archives/2005/10/get_it_odl.php Seems CJ has found the first state library podcast, an interview with “ODL Public Information Officer Bill Young about the Oklahoma Reads Oklahoma program.” Give it a listen as you form your own plans for podcasting events and interviews…

I was all a-lust when Jenny showed off her new Video iPod in Monterey! Mine was waiting when I got back! Hooray! http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelsphotos/sets/1232433/ So far: It sounds GREAT! (Better than previous generations..I tested) It looks GREAT! (oh yeah..the screen is incredibly clear…) I purchased the Desperate Housewives pilot, a few music videos and moved some iMovies over to it…

…and head home from Monterey in the morning…From Liz Lawley, keynoter and blogger… http://mamamusings.net/archives/2005/10/25/glory_days.php Here at Internet Librarian, I see the next posse hanging in the halls. They?re talking about blogs and flickr and del.icio.us. They?re laughing out loud at the stodginess around them (as well they should), and carving out their own space. And I find that I?m not at all jealous. I love seeing them blaze their own paths, create their own disruptive force. I don?t want to go back to who and where I was fifteen years ago. But I am oh so glad for the friendships […]
