Allow me to point you to an amazing presentation by Brian Kelly, UK Web Focus, entitled “IT Services: Help Or Hindrance?” at http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/conferences/ucisa-2006/ I laughed out loud at the wonderful Little Britain”reference — and realized it makes so much sense: The computer says No — not any more folks, a neither does Web 2.0 IT says No — I’ve heard that song before. Take a look at Brian’s PPT and watch for the pointers to how IT may want to shift to a “2.0” perspective. Libray IT 2.0 doesn’t say no…. Thanks Brian for some welcome insight this morning…

Via Michael Sauers: http://www.flickr.com/photos/travelinlibrarian/99868083/ With this and these two examples so far (and I’m sure there are many more) that point to barriers created by librarians when, for example, across the pond, the word is CONVERGENCE. Let me know if more pics like this go up on flickr. Can we use a tag? “NotLibrary2.0”?
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 […]

A great post from Thomas after our recording of a Library 2.0 podcast at Talis. I’ll post here when it goes live. http://lib1point5.wordpress.com/2006/02/01/library-20-and-books/
Via a forward from Stephen Abram: http://presentationzen.blogs.com/presentationzen/2006/02/lessons_from_th.html It’s all communication Websites, intranets, message boards, email blasts, blogs, developer conferences, sales presentations, and CEO keynotes — it’s about communicating. It all matters. Whether it’s a blog, an e-news letter, or a presentation, what audiences and customers yearn for from organizations is authenticity and transparency, simplicity, and a real human, emotion-without-the-BS approach to communicating. A real conversation…for a change.
Jenny blogs her notes from our morning session Friday at the Ontario Library Association conference: “Technology and Education: Are Library Schools Doing Enough.” I love Jenny’s super-duper note taking prowess! The group laughed when I invoked “LS2.” Also, I really enjoyed Jenny and Mary Cavanaugh’s presentations and the discussion that followed. Download my presentation here. Visit Dr. Steven MacCall’s syllabus for his “mashed-up” medical librarianship and Library 2.0 class here. Check out this idea for a class too!
Three different Canadian librarians spoke to me about Stumble. It’s a Firefox extension that lets me “stumble upon” all sorts of web sites I might be interested in after choosing topics from a menu or search box. Users, with pictures, can tag sites. I stumbled to the “libraries” list. This is fascinating, social stuff. Give it a try sometime.
