&tPosts I’ve noted for use in classes, presentations and future writing: Aggregator as Textbook by Will Richardson: I’ve been thinking more and more about my own use of RSS, and trying to reflect on the choices I make in my aggregator. Frankly, I am still amazed that so relatively few people (not just educators) have made RSS a part of their practice, but I wonder if it doesn’t have something to do with how disruptive a technology it is when you really think about it. It changes the traditional information structures in fundamental ways, and it forces us to be […]
Rob Coers writes: I am happy to announce to you that the Dutch public libraries now also offer a chat reference service to the audiences. Not via IM, but via an application by a small Dutch company, called Chatfone. Behind the scenes there is a team of about 30 librarians who also work as al@din searchers, the nation-wide QnA service, running on OCLC’s QuestionPoint. In the last months of 2006, 22 public libraries tested several ways of chat reference. We tried: 1. Meebo 2. the big IM’s – MSN, GTalk, Yahoo, monitored with Meebo 3. QuestionPoint Chat 4.

The Shifted Librarian Originally uploaded by Meg Canada Most cool. I get my iPhone SUNDAY!
I’ve been watching for the first reports of iPhones accessing library Web resources. This just in from Papercuts at Topeka Shawnee: http://papercuts.tscpl.org/2007/06/iphone_the_library_in_your_poc.html The iPhone came out yesterday and we’re so excited that we decided to test the accessibility of the library’s website from the iPhone’s web browser. Using his new iPhone, Daniel was able to browse the library’s webpage, view the .pdf of the library’s magazine connectnow, search the library’s catalog and request items, request items for purchase, and search the magazine and journal databases. He can use Google Maps to get directions to the library’s building at 10th and […]
Buying the iPhone Online – Bellaire Public Library, Bellaire, MI Originally uploaded by mstephens7 We had a dinner engagement in Bellaire, MI last night – far away from the cottage and an Internet connection. Thank goodness for public libraries and wifi — and a big THANK YOU to the folks at Bellaire Public Library. The wifi signal was strong and true last night at 9:05pm when we pulled into the parking lot to order the iPhone.
No ATT Stores near TC! Oh iPhone, where art thou? Originally uploaded by mstephens7 I’m in Traverse City for three weeks – a land not served by ATT/Cingular. Hopefully I’ll be able to order iPhone online tomorrow night. Wish me luck.

Thank you Michael for asking me to guest post to TTW. I enjoy reading TTW and I am a believer in technology but find that there are times when the theory works better than practice. I find that people have to have a comfort level with technology and with their own craft to successfully incorporate technology into their daily work. You have to know it is going to work and you have to be willing to assess it and rework it until you get it right. Hi! I am Donna Goodwyn, Head of Reference and Assistant Professor from the A.C. […]
