Hello from Texas!! We are back! The cohort lost a member and gained a member over the summer. A picture will follow as soon as I can get one. This weekend is devoted to a class called “Seminar in Communication and Use of Information” taught by Dr. Linda Schamber. It is incredibly interesting, will be challenging but will give us a big push toward the final outcome of this process. More in a bit…
Hey school media folks… take a look: http://web2.unt.edu/isdocs/
In June, I attended the first weekend Institute for the UNT IMLS distance independent PhD program. We spent the weekend getting to know each other, the faculty and generally freaking because of how new this academic experience was to all of us. After that weekend, we were responsible for completing 3 courses for a total of 9 credit hours online. The ladies in the cohort are neat folks. I enjoyed every minute we spent together. We are diverse but I recognize the passion for library stuff in all of us. Statistics was a rollercoaster of ?I can?t do this.? To […]
I’m back after over 10 weeks of leave! In that time I started school at UNT, visited Orlando for ALA and spent 5+ weeks in Traverse City! Now I’m going through the piles of mail, returning messages and getting back into the groove. For the next two years I will be a part time manager, still heading up the Networked Resources Development and Training department at SJCPL. The other time will be devoted to school, speaking and writing. I’ll post again soon!
CJ let me know about The September Project and he asked me about Indiana Libraries participating. I believe they do not have a representative library yet from Indiana… Check out the Weeb site for more info!
Well done Franklin!!! Our SJCPL staffer from Local History has published Southern St. Joseph County (Images of America)! Amazon Link!
My friend David just sent this as I finish up my first semester: I think this is very fitting for you: ‘Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.’ -Henry David Thoreau
I got back from Traverse City today because of a family reunion this weekend. Waiting for me was the new Apple Airport Express with AirTunes cables! It took about 10 minutes to install the little transmitter/receiver, load software and plug a digital cable into my Sony receiver. PRESTO. Streaming tunes from my G5 to the entertainment center! EXCELLENT sound as well with an Apple/Monster Cable digital optical input! Thanks Apple!
I should have posted last week but travel to ALA and then zipping right up to Traverse City wore me out. I’m deep in statisctics and two other course via the Web for UNT so I’m taking a few days to focus on school. The readings have been fascinating so far: histories of info science, examinations of cryptography, etc. Stats… uhhh, don’t ask! Look for me in a few days! Rock On!
