Blog and Twitter Worlds Collide. . . then Converge?
Posted by: greebie on: April 30, 2008
It all started because I Blogged where I should have Twittered. . . Greg wrote a post called “Stepping into Marketing“ talking about Mitch Joel presentation. And I wrote this:
I actually had Mitch in my Twitter list, but he didn’t follow me, so I took him off. I might put him back though.
Whether or not you think this [...]

off to work..

Ok I was tagged by Cindi and Amanda for the Passion Quilt Meme. I’m not a meme-ish sort of person — probably because anyone I tag usually does not end up doing the meme.
So, you are supposed to grab a photo from Flickr’s Creative Commons or other photo directory, [...]
Navigating Online Cultures
Posted by: greebie on: April 28, 2008
I’ve had a tongue-in-cheek post-in-waiting for a while now that would look at traits I notice in online cultures as a way of understanding whether or not a particular service is for you or your library. It had been percolating, percolating, percolating. . . and then I read Greg Schwartz’s post on Managing His Own Social [...]

Just by playing around with the TwitterSearch API I found a few interesting Halifax Twitterfolk. One of them was Ben Boudreau another was Carman Pirie. All of the sudden, my Halifax Twitwork began to expand. It was exciting — I love discussing things with librarians from far-off places, but I really love talking to people [...]
Sustainability and Libraries: Is Anyone Challenging Our Assumptions about Digitization?
Posted by: greebie on: April 21, 2008
Among the best things about conferences (besides karaoke, right Greg?) are hearing ideas from people you had not previously met. One of the memorable conversations I had was with Sarah Cohen about whether libraries were really on board with the what, whys and hows regarding sustainability. I think we came to the conclusion that libraries [...]

People around town have talked about Swift, and some were invited to a feedback session on Swift. Already, comments have come out about that session, and I’m even mentioned in one of them.
First off, based on what I saw at the session, I’m going to respectfully disagree with Meredith who says:
Yes, the emails [...]

Here is the link to my presentation slides.
Here is the link to a script I devised a little while ago. (This was not the script I used at the presentation — I was editing the presentation as I went along.)
Going to Computers In Libraries
Posted by: greebie on: April 4, 2008
Just to let everyone out there know that I will be at the Computers in Libraries conference. I’ll be presenting on Tuesday in Track D about laptop labs in libraries — mostly emphasizing the importance of social interaction over mere technology access. I’ll be using two case studies at our libraries to demonstrate this.
I [...]
Chiming in On the Biggies
Posted by: greebie on: April 1, 2008
There have been a few, ahem, debates going around and I could make a post on each of them, but things have just been too much in my home life recently, so I’m going to chime in one on one.
MLS or non-MLS?
My favorite call on this issue is coming from Dorothea Salo, but there [...]
