You have new Picture Mail! Originally uploaded by The Shifted Librarian. Seeing this photo in Jenny’s stream brought back many good memories and reminded me today is Teresa’s last day at ALA TechSource. Back in May, 2005, Jenny and I accepted an invitation from Teresa to dinner while visiting Providence, RI to do a NEASIST event. We’d never met. But something clicked that night and Tersea asked us to write for the Blog. I honestly believe my path in libraryland changed that evening. Since then, Teresa has edited my blog posts at TS and supported and encouraged me through the […]

Casey’s major […]
Dave Pattern posts a cryptic message on his blog: Don’t you just hate it when someone tells you that something major is about to happen, but you really don’t want to repeat it because it might not be true and you’d just be spreading unfounded gossip. But, then again, it’s so absolutely huuuuuuge that you can’t find a hat big enough to keep it under? Anyway, something may (or may not) be about to happen that could rock your world. Let’s sit back, fasten our seatbelts, and see what happens in the next 48 hours in LibraryLand… And he tags […]

My official title will be Head of Technology and Digital Initiatives.

I will be working for Alan Gray, who is currently Associate Director. DPL’s director is Louise Berry. I will continue to blog here at blyberg.net. I also have no plans to discontinue work on […]
The Feel Good Librarian writes: http://feelgoodlibrarian.typepad.com/feelgood_librarian/ As a customer service person, I am usually not comfortable asking for things. I am used to providing assistance, helping and encouraging people. I anticipate needs, ask follow up questions and provide current, historical and background information. Now, however, I have a request to make. I found out this week that I have cancer. I don’t mean to be melodramatic – this is a good kind to have, if there is such a thing, with a 97 percent cure rate. After surgery, I have one-time chemo. My hair won’t fall out and I won’t […]
Driving Back to Indiana, February 14, 2007 Originally uploaded by mstephens7. A big shout out to the folks at Boston Public Library and Simmons GSLIS! The weather caused us to postpone my visit one week, so instead I drove home to Indiana for some R&R and work on my dissertation. It’s nice to be at home after a scary drive through lake effect snow. Everyone stay warm and safe..and I’ll see folks in Boston on the 22nd.
I heart (heh) how my Flickr friends have noted themselves… 🙂 “Blame it on my wild heart!”
