Thanks to everyone who commented on the Reinvention post, sent e-mails and posted flickr pictures tagged just so! — it really touched me. I appreciate your thoughtfulness! I have 2.5 more days at work at SJCPL and then I’m off to the next chapter.
Here’s the good news: I am gathering all my data, presentations and evidence to send to Dr. O’Connor for my “qualifying experience” at UNT. 🙂 Next up: writing the porposal for my dissertation. Here’s a bit from a favorite researcher that is helping my thinking: Nancy Van House : http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/~vanhouse/projects.htm#blogs Avid topical bloggers see blogging as a transformative technology for building and maintaining an intellectual community, and doing individual and collaborative knowledge work. I’m interested in how blogging may be transforming the work of knowledge communities. Blogging gives us a place to watch how participants cope with the decontextualized world […]
God Bless Luke Rosenberger, who attended my SirsiDynix Webinar last week and sent a comment about the charts. He has helped me manipulate some of the mountain iof data with Excel skills that blow me away. He wrote: If I remember the survey correctly, you allowed respondents to choose multiple answers for that question….I think you should keep your “n” constant — always comparing your data against the number of respondents. So perhaps for this question, a bar graph would be a more helpful mode of presentation.. Heck yeah! So here’s a link to some more data, presented in spiffy […]
Will Richardson posted a few days about about reinventing himself — about quitting his job — and today I can announce the same thing. I’m stunned …really… This morning I was offered and accepted a full time tenure-track teaching position at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois. I will begin my official teaching duties there in August of this year. My title will be Instructor and when I finish the UNT program, I’ll be an Assistant Professor. I spent time with the incredible faculty at Dominican and I know this is […]
For those folks in Canada at OLA or FIS, here’s a link to the materials from my presentations: https://tametheweb.com/blogpeople Thanks to Jessamyn who coded the pages for me whilst I was on the road last week.
Our afternoon was spent learning about blogs, libraries and what librarians can do with this tool. Each student got a Blogger blog. They agreeed that I could post them here. What amazes me is within 5 minutes opf posting (really as a way to share the URLs with the class) I had a comment from John Blyberg. How cool. Yes, these should be linked and when I have time I will activate them. Right now, I need to drive home through a lake effect snowstorm. http://archives4evah.blogspot.com/ http://urbanlib.blogspot.com http://trainlibrarian.blogspot.com/ http://lovelibraries.blogspot.com http://insidevoicesplease.blogspot.com/ http://cpslibrarian.blogspot.com/ http://therandomlibrary10.blogspot.com/ http://unchicklit.blogspot.com/ http://eroses.blogspot.com http://dustudentblog.blogspot.com/ http://littlelostlibrarian.blogspot.com/ http://schooltechschool.blogspot.com/ http://libschoolconfidential.blogspot.com http://younglibrarians.blogspot.com/ http://becominglibrarian.blogspot.com/ […]
Attention School Librarians, don’t miss UNT Cohort colleague Margaret Lincoln’s coverage of her work with students, blogging and the travelling Holocaust exhibit at School Library Journal. It’s fascinating and concrete proof of the power of blogging in schools. The Night Blog is here. As the media specialist in charge of coordinating technology related to Lakeview’s Holocaust unit, I created a blog so students could exchange their views of Night with kids 720 miles away in the English class of Honey Kern at Cold Spring Harbor High School in New York. Lakeview High School English teacher Carol Terburg found the blog […]
