It seems that I converted Mick Jones to librarianship after this video. (Yeah, that’s the ticket.) Actually, he really just opened up his own collection to the public library.

Presentations are not easy to do well even if you are a designer or professional speaker. Understanding your audience, having a catchy topic, being loud enough to be heard are all things that require practice.

I had three brief things come to mind, neither of which really need a whole post to describe. I’ve been thinking what works for a web presence in a Microblog world, and what real competitive advantages & disadvantages websites have over other media.

We are launched in beta with a new website over the holiday on January 17, 2008 and I would really appreciate your feedback. Your information will be really valuable to me because we are already looking at a review of the website just as fast as we launch it. [...]
At the CLA Emerging Technologies Interest Group Pre-Conference, Mark Leggott presented something he titled “Library 2.0: Threads in the Tapestry.” If you have ever seen or heard Mark talk, you would know that he appears to enjoy using metaphors to organize his talks. This time it was the “Lady and Unicorn” [...]
Now that Microsoft has released a Surface based computer, I thought it was time that I thought about how people would actually use the thing. Sure the examples of moving pictures around and finger painting are kind of neat, but how does it get people to information?
Some of the things that immediately [...]
