The call for speakers is up! http://www.infotoday.com/il2005/ How are libraries and librarians changing to meet the needs of users in 2005? Got something to say? Want a great place and a wonderful crowd to say it to? Ponder a submission for Internet Librarian 2005! I’m still fired up from last November!
Just recently a couple of friends have shared their flickr pages with me…adding me as a “contact.” I like this type of exchange… the sharing of images…and the fact that I get a glimpse into the lives of friends and colleagues!

I made it to Texas about three hours late for the start of class but all is well. This semester’s BIG class is SLIS 6910 with Dr. Sam Hastings and Shannon Peevey. The topic: Open Source Digital Library Tools! http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php We started with some lecture, software installation and basic command line practice. I am using my Mac for this class — running OS 10.3.7 — and guess what : I have all the tools built in to my system. I open the terminal mode and it is there! I was tickled. This semester we will code in Python, discuss issues […]

USA TODAY: http://www.usatoday.com/travel/news/2005-01-06-thursday-delays_x.htm?csp=34 Officials at Chicago O’Hare have already canceled 300 flights for Thursday, which comes on top of the more than 900 canceled there Wednesday. As one of the nation’s busiest connecting hubs, that spelled problems for travelers Thursday. Yes… that includes me. I just rescheduled to a flight at 6am tomorrow because United had nothing to DFW today or tonight. I am SUPPOSED to be all bright and shiny in the classroom at 9am. Instead, I should be landing in Dallas at 9am and hightailing it to Denton ASAP. I haven’t heard from anyone else in the cohort […]
We are under seige by a storm here in Indiana… but tomorrow I am to fly out at 6am for Dallas a the start of a new semester. More from Texas!
I am relaxing…watching movies..playing with the boys… we’ll see you in 2005! Best to all for a safe and happy holiday!
I feel validated today: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/webguide/internetlife/2004-12-08-need-to-unplug_x.htm?csp=34 I am finishing a huge project for school this week and next. It’s independent study with Dr. Maurice Wheeler at UNT. I’m designing a class for doc students examining how technology has impacted Public libraries. One of the themes is the “unintended consequences” of technology. I am hurtling toward unplugging through Christmas though. The idea of a break from the keyboard is attractive right now… Do not fret – I will be back…we have so much cool stuff to look at and talk about here at TTW as libraries continue to meet technologies in new […]
