It’s always a good feeling when you are at a stage where you cannot possibly be stimulated more. It lets you give yourself permission to stop thinking about things and just experience, learn or appreciate the things around you that make you feel good. After three important events, one community related, one family related/personal and one [...]
Tim Spalding of Library Thing has initiated an idea for an open source, crowd created replacement for the Dewey Decimal System called OSC. On the whole, I am for starting anything. I think entrepreneurialism like this is a good thing. Competition of any kind cannot hurt the process of information organization — it makes [...]
Sarah Houghton-Jan, the illustrious Librarian in Black brought up the issue of ethics in libraries reminding us to post the ALA Code of Ethics on our office walls. She also points to a post by BlogJunction highlighting two other studies
Ethics are extremely important, but I am here to say that a statement of [...]
Steve, Iris, Rikhei & others are going through some kind of meme on why they are librarians. I think self-reflection is great. In fact, when I started this blog, that’s what I intended to do — take opportunities to look at the library world in ways that might reflect “others” in [...]

My argument was that technology has changed (and I stated [...]
Well, I don’t keep much of a collection of RSS feeds. Basically I use live bookmarks so I can pick and choose the headlines I like. I may go to Google Reader sometime to be more ritualistic and purposive about blog reading, but, well, I don’t want to right now.
