Today I am writing an outline for a research porposal to examine the LIS Blogosphere… this book will be an incredible help! Steven sent me an article last week by Clyde on the same topic that I’ve been carrying around since.

From LISNews: http://www.lisnews.com/article.pl?sid=04/10/30/0836242 How wonderful…. I hope more and more cities fall in line as well. I want to findmyself anywhere and be connected with my PowerBook — especially with the online classes I’m in! A great starter is adding wifi at your library and promoting the heck out of it!
Aaron just posted this: http://www.walkingpaper.org/index.php?id=112 Through some crazy turn of events, along with Barbara Fullerton and Sabrina Pacifici I?ll be on the closing keynote panel at internet librarian 2004. It is titled ?Wacky World of Gadgets: The 70?s and Beyond!? and should be fun. I?m a bit of a gadget enthusiast, but I?m sure there are some I?ve missed. If there?s some sort of cool tool you think needs to be mentioned, just lemme know. ROCK ON AARON! I’m there!
Take a look to see how cool last year was! http://www.libraryforlife.org/tech/IL2003Photos/index.htm

Not only did I attend and speak at a great conference… I took 5 extra days and did some FUN tourism stuff… http://www.tametheweb.com/galleries/London2004/ Included is a trip to the London Brass Rubbing Centre and many views of St. Paul’s Cathedral! Best place for lunch? St. Martin’s in the Fields Cafe in the Crypt… or Beetroot!
Mary Jo, one of the members of our PhD cohort, asked me for some LIS news sites and blogs that she might look at to get started as an offshoot of my presentation in class this weekend. What I thought I would do is post it here…because it might be helpful to other folks as well. First up: don’t miss LISNews as the perfect starter news clearinghouse. Then, take a look at: http://www.libdex.com/weblogs.html http://www.hi.is/~anne/weblogs.html (This one is rocking my world right now…) http://dmoz.org/Reference/Libraries/Library_and_Information_Science/Weblogs/ There’s an LIS blog for every interest! These, from my link list, are faves: Library BlogsKaren Schneider’s […]
Steven posts about internal blogs and I totally am in on this one. We have been using a blog like structure internally at SJCPL for a while now. It includes nine major categories programmed by the NRDT Web Developer and Computer Specialist based on the Lasso program from Blue World software (http://www.blueworld.com/). All entries for those categories ? Admin News, Personnel News, Staff news, etc ? build on each other, posting in reverse chronological order just as most blogs do. Each category is assigned to certain staff via IP addresses recognized by the database system. Secondary ?blogs? are in place […]
