I’m glad to see my colleague Jeff Trzeciak blogging at http://ulatmac.wordpress.com/. Take a look at the blog and follow the links as well to the Transformation blog, an example of a group of librarians putting Library 2.0 thinking into practice via planning. Jeff sums a lot of it up in his first post: (bolding is mine) As partners in teaching, learning and research on our campuses, libraries are at the heart of today’s changes. Our challenge is to establish the University Library as an unparalleled service provider in an increasingly complex world of information and access. How do we prepare […]
IMG_7640 Originally uploaded by Rob’s. One of many highlights at the Ticer Institute was the chance to meet a group of Dutch bibliobloggers for dinner in Tilburg. The evening was organized by my esteemed colleage Rob Coers, who will be presenting with me in London in October. Jenny and Paul Miller and I joined a table full of folks and we rotated seats at every course so we got to talk with everyone. I really enjoyed it. Thanks to all! Sadly, my pictures were lost with my camera but check out the images from other folks, tagged BBT2006. Here are […]
It’s Blog Day again! Here is my list from last year at this time. And Meredith Farkas has already posted her list here. Five new(ish) biblioblogs you might want to take a look at: The Ubiquitous librarian: A fascinating voice from academic libraries! Brian Matthews blogs thoughtfully and posts some things that just make me say WOW! Check out his posts on gaming. The Green Kangaroo: A strong voice from our association! Mary Ghikas, Senior Associate Executive Director at the American Library Association, blogs about associations, ALA and what she’s reading. I am so glad we have this personal presence […]
Jessamyn blogs her recent visit to the Chicago-based Newberry Library: guard: “Do you have some RESEARCH you’d like to do?” (clearly the emphais on the word, to me, implies “hey dumbass, it’s the most obvious password in the book. Here, I’m giving it to you”) me: “No, I just wanted to look at the reading room, but I think I’ll go home instead.” I really try to not use this space to complain about customer service incidents unless I think they can somehow be useful teaching tools, but I just was floored here. I had done my homework and read […]
Tacoma & RSS Originally uploaded by davidking. I really appreciate what Tacoma is doing. Thanks to David King and Jenny Levine for posting!
Checkout the South Jersey Regional Library Cooperative blog by Peter Bromberg! More Cooperatives and state associations need to be blogging and this is one good example of how to do it!

http://www.sjrlc.org/web20/handouts/brainstorm.shtml I believe in the “wisdom of crowds” so I asked the folks at my blog workshops last week to brainstorm blogging best practices and implications. Peter Bromberg captured the debrief on a flip chart that he’s put up on the SJRLC site. And all of the handouts are here.
http://www.zephyrinnovation.com/ I’ve been lucky to spend some time working and talking with Kathryn Deiss, who just took an incredible position with ACRL. I’ve learned from her, been inspired by her and look forward to future collaborations! And — she’s started a blog! From her about me page: I have a deep belief in human creativity and our ability to innovate. For 16 years I have been facilitating learning for librarians, libraries, and other non-profit agencies. Sometimes this has been individual learning (workshops, institutes, etc.) and sometimes it has been organizational learning where larger groups are learning together. In almost every […]
