Friday I’m talking about Presence at the Indiana Online User’s group in Indy. Coolest thing is Glenn Peterson will be there keynoting about the totally cool Hennepin CO PL site!! While we are pondering presence, I think it’s important for librarians to be seen out and about in the thriving virtual communities we know and love. For example, librarian’s desks at flickr: http://flickr.com/groups/librariansdesks/ Here’s mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelsphotos/sets/347976/ Flickr friends…feel free to tag away!

Nice chat with Ken Smith Tuesday about our community, blogging, RSS and “not getting blogging.” Thanks Ken!
Dan is talking about levels of change and prerequisites for sustained change in libraries: “If you are just looking at what is happening at the top of the organization, you may be missing what’s happening on the people level. Without a clear vision, mission and leadership strategy, your library may be plagued by low morale and staff resistant to change.”
More in a bit… It’s so nice to be back here…

Brian from Jybe reports: I wanted to point you the University of Northern Illinois and this link – http://www.niulib.niu.edu/ask-books.cfm. They are using JYBE for VR at their library via IE – went live this week. Basically, if you want help, you install JYBE and then click the link to join a session – that link will automatically connect them with a librarian. Wowza.. take a look…
