Cooper’s 2nd Day!, originally uploaded by mstephens7. A brief personal note here on TTW. School has been super busy and blogging and such has taken a back seat but we’ve also added a new family member. Meet Cooper! He’s from the Central Indiana Labrador Rescue & Adoption group. He’s a year and a half old and full – I mean FULL – of puppy energy! Thanks for all of the nice comments at Flickr.

I realized I hadn’t blogged this, but my article “The Pragmatic Biblioblogger: Examining the Motivations and Observations of Early Adopter Librarian Bloggers” is in Internet Reference Services Quarterly, Vol. 13, Issue 4, p311-345. It’s been a long time since November 2005 when 238 hearty bibliobloggers took my survey. The changes since then are incredible.
A brief pause from the usual TTW content to send heartfelt thoughts and well wishes to all of our Australian colleagues and friends touched by the fires in Victoria and the flooding in Queensland.
Sending wishes for peace, prosperity and happiness to all. We’ll see you in 2009!
