http://clifflandis.net/2008/04/30/passion-quilt-meme/ The best experiences you’ll ever have are the ones where you’re completely aware, if only for a moment. Look up. Look around. Look within. Be aware of it all. Last night I talked about the passion quilt as part of our final class in LIS701. I told them about the meme and what I wanted for them as students to bring into the profession. It will be very nice to use these sentiments again in future classes. Also, don’t miss the pool at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/groups/771948@N22/pool/ Created by Steve “Do it now” Lawson
Luria Library Twitters, originally uploaded by mstephens7. Another nice example of one of the best uses for Twitter in the library setting – alerts. Tweets by LuriaLibrary http://library.sbcc.edu/
Ryan Deschamps writes: Public Libraries use gaming to attract teens That’s not precisely true. If we have public computers, the teens are already there — gaming. Gaming programs are an attempt to channel the gaming energy into a community building experience. It’s noisy; it’s not books; it’s probably more fun than your average taxpayer would like to think a teen should be having in a library — but it does some very important things: a) it builds trust with teens, helping them to see the library as a positive place to be b) it engages them toward other positive — […]
I owe Kathryn Greenhill an apology. She tagged me in this meme while I was in Australia and I’ve been catching up ever since we got back. The meme: Post a picture from a source like FlickrCC or Flickr Creative Commons or make/take your own that captures what YOU are most passionate about for kids to learn about…and give your picture a short title. If you’ve heard me speak in the last year or so, you know I always end with three of the statements in the picture. I usually say that “in a nutshell” what I want for […]
Allen County Public Library’s Sean Robinson writes: The property fax reform in Indiana is causing library budgets to shrink across the state. In an attempt to be more transparent and to inform both our staff and the community on how we plan to handle this change our Director Jeff Krull has created this video. We are planning for it to be part of a series as we go through this process. I really like Krull’s take on staff and the library’s preparation for the future. I applaud Sean and Jeff Krull and everyone at ACPL for taking such a bold step […]

I’m not making this up. It was a follow-up from the photo-taking-spree I conducted during Computers in Libraries in DC. I explained (again) why one would want to take photos of signs and buildings and such to use in presentations and on blogs. I explained about “Creative Commons” that I had just presented at the conference earlier that morning with Helene Blowers and that I’d posted the images on flickr in a set called “Free Use Photos.” When the interviewer asked me what this flickr thing was and how […]
Michael casey weighs in on events and developments concerning the Creative Commons. Don’t miss the whole post: http://librarycrunch.com/?p=37 Watching all of this has forced me to conclude that I don’t particularly care for the Creative Commons license right now. I think I’ll either need to claim full copyright on my works, or I’ll do what Lori Reed and Tony Tallent have started doing, which is to permit full and free use of some of my works — I’ll have to do this on an image-by-image basis as there are many photos that I do not want reposted or reused. By claiming full […]
http://librarytrainer.com/2008/04/18/announcing-free-use-photos-a-new-flickr-group/ How often do you need a quick photo to illustrate a point or concept? Are you ever concerned about the copyright restrictions? Well look no further! Inspired by Michael Casey and his 50 Reasons Not to Change post (and the comments that followed). Tony Tallent and I have created a Flickr group called Free Use Photos where all the photos are free and can be used with no restrictions. We encourage everyone in the library and education communities to join and share photos that can be used for displays, presentations, blogs, or any other imaginable use. Tony has already added some great photos to the group that […]
