That shufflecasting is hot right now friends… I am chatting for a minute with Chris (who sent this) and he just told me the coolest thing: Chris: “We want to offer audiobooks on iPod to the public, but along with them we would attach the library’s monthly podcast of library happenings, book reviews, music, movies, etc.” Me: “Chris, that’s HOT HOT HOT!” Chris: “Yeah.”

Hi Michael, We’ve been using iTunes here in the Chelmsford Public Library for over two years, since version 3 of iTunes. We run two iMac kiosks in the main library, one near the CD’s and one for the Young Adult area and then a standalone eMac in our branch library. The main library kiosks tap into an MP3 server in my office. I purchase the CD’s and rip everything I buy to MP3. Since there’s actually only one MP3 around, I think I’m within our legal rights. I’m probably going to expand the iTunes idea to the PC’s in the […]

Via Jessamyn: http://vielmetti.typepad.com/vacuum/2005/03/rss_for_the_aad.html How geeked am I that this gets me going: Rest assured that useful, flexible, and broad RSS support is a major design goal of our new website, and we hope our feeds will find good homes in aggregators throughout the district… and beyond! Watch for the new aadl.org coming in early July [2005].
http://www.lisnews.com/~Blake/journal/2909 Please read Blake’s wrap up and pay special attention to the last bit that I quote here: The ?core Bloggers? thing was surprisingly divisive at the conference and apparently outside as well. As Bloggers (Core or not, I was not) I think we need to talk about what we do and look at how we do things more and talk about ourselves less. What was being done from the conference was a great beginning, an amazing 1.0 of conference blogging.. Let?s look at how we did things and look for the next step. Stephen Abram said something about the […]
