Hi all! No posts for awhile because I’ve been running workshops in Connecticut and now I’m heading to Denton for a weekend class, a wiki demo and some elbow rubbing with the new cohort!

On an envelope from Alan at Darien Public Library…nice touch.
Via Sherri, who totally gets it! Chad F. Boeninger reports on a survey of students! Take a look…there’s good data and loads of food for thought. Working with Purdue has me thinking about serving students in the acedemic setting. All the Millennial stuff…all the gamer stuff apllies here as well. http://libraryvoice.com/archives/2005/06/03/im-virtual-reference-podcasting/
I want to write a post about this soon because I finished the book yesterday, but for now: The Future of Musis Site: http://www.futureofmusicbook.com/ First Chapter Online: http://www.themusic.com.au/im_m/archive/2005/050503-453_guests.php Quickly: if you want a very possible glimpse into our future as providers of entertainment and information, give this one a read!
How cool is this: Jennifer Sharkey is blogging the workshop so it is archived and can be looked at as Purdue Libraries move forward with blogs & RSS! http://pulbloggingrss.blogspot.com/
In the morning workshop yesterday, I mentioned what was happening in the public library realm with gaming tournaments and what university libraries may expect from gamers as students. At lunch, Scott Brandt lead a field trip down to the Student Union to check it out. Scott and Brook, another Purdue librarian, grabbed the chance to stretch their legs! Then, the students offered to show us how it’s done! One fellow jumped up and wowed us — dancing to “It’s Raining Men!” http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelsphotos/sets/436942/ Lesson: there’s a lot of talk about gaming…a first step might be to check it out for yourself […]
Here’s where we will be: (there are frogs all over town too!)
