Great post by Ann Arbor District Library Director Josie Parker on two years in the life of AADL.org. http://www.aadl.org/node/4722 In my Web 2.0 talks, I usually get the question about letting staff publish blog posts directly to the Web. Wait! Shouldn’t they be proofed (well, yes) and shouldn’t a manager sign off on each one — or maybe a committee? š Not at AADL.

Me at Work Originally uploaded by jessamyn An incredible image from Jessamyn’s photostream brightens my gray day in Northern Michigan: She writes: This is what I do on a lot of my days. I go to libraries and help people with their computers. Today was a fun day. Both my students had Macs and were clever and interesting people [the little girl is a grandchild of one of the trustees] with problems to solve.

Greetings from the ultra-cool Traverse Area District Library, where I am embedded on the second floor working on my second installment of Library Technology Reports.

Please share your success stories and not so successful stories about marketing social software to the public. When Karen Schneider reviewed part one last year she […]
OCLC Blog Salon Originally uploaded by cindiann If anything, ALA 2007 was flickr’d, twitter’ed and blogged from any and every angle. I was lucky to meet some folks whose work inspires me, including Cindi, who I blogged about here, and many others. Also, I appreciate the message of Cindi’s shirt. Can you feel something coming from the discussions, online conversations and conference chatter? I can.
http://ukwebfocus.wordpress.com/2007/06/29/strictly-forbidden/ Brian Kelly writes: As someone who used to work in a number of IT Service departments Iām aware of potential security implications. But the tone of this notice strikes me as inappropriate. And it also seems to be out of sync with the trend towards more user-focussed IT Service departments, articulated in the introduction to the UCISA IT Support Staff Symposium 2007 given by David Harrison, UCISA chair who argued that IT Services departments need to stop saying that they are user-focussed and actually mean it. Brian mentions the work of Michael Nowlan, Director of Information Systems Services at […]
Allen County Public Library 2.0 Originally uploaded by The Shifted Librarian acpl.info/ Well done, ACPL! I’m impressed with what can be done with some 2.0 tools, determination and a vision. Indiana libraries should take note.
