No, you may not have a friendly chat with library staff, originally uploaded by sirexkat. Kathryn Greenhill writes: Spearwood Library has been remodelled. They have added a half wall so that staff and patrons cannot make eye contact or see each other. It felt really dehumanizing to stand on one side of the barrier, centimetres from someone in a building built on service and not be able to smile or say hello. This is the first thing users see when they enter the library. I guess it is there to solve some perceived “problem”. Anyone want to have a guess […]

Eden Prairie Library By the Numbers – Lobby Display, originally uploaded by edenprairielibrary. Emily Lloyd writes: Hi, Michael– My coworker Marni came up with a great idea for one of our lobby bulletin boards: a display called “Eden Prairie Library by the Numbers.” Illustrated with photos taken in the branch, it includes stats like how many returns the library checks in every day (roughly 4000), how many storytimes we offer per week (8), how many items were checked out from our location last year (1,333,427), how many years the library has been part of the community (35), etc. The display […]
Frank Haulgren, Collection Services Manager, ILL – Document Delivery & Assessment Cooridnator at the Wilson Library, Western Washington University writes: Hey Michael some of your readers may be interested. Each quarter The Western Libraries sponsors a mid-term Study Break. We set aside an hour and a half in the early evening and provide food, fun and information about the library and campus activities for students. They love the food (of course) and the crazy goggles that the Student Wellness Center has that allows you to simulate being drunk and having to walk a line. This quarter we set up or video […]

I am very excited for the launch of ALAConnect on Monday. The ALA Web Advisory Committee (WAC) has been playing in the virtual community for sometime. I’ve tweaked my profile a bit and need to a bit more before the big launch, but I am so knocked out by all the hard wotk the folks at ALA have put into this clearinghouse/community. Recently, Lauren Pressley took a good look and had this to say: Here are a few things worth noting: When you first log in, use the same information you use to log into the ALA site. You can change […]
http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=2596 I am eager to get my hands on a copy of Brian’s new book. I think it may be a perfect fit for use in LIS768. I was glad to see his reflective post about the process: (emphasis mine) I am very grateful that ALA didn’t pressure me to write a 2.0 or social technology book. It would have been a disaster. While those elements are included in the text, the scope is much wider. I worked (struggled) on and off for 2 years on this project. It is very personal. Writing a book is very draining. You feel […]
