The Other Librarian

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 [...]

I cannot say that I am completely convinced Twitter has specific library applications, it does have very excellent librarian applications. I can attest to this, as a librarian who loves using Twitter. Like regular blogging, microblogging is most effective when there is an individual you appreciate behind the wysiwyg.

Too bad LISNews only mentioned 10 blogs in their list. 

There is a meme going on.   I am not going to tag you.   It never works anyway.   Just do it if you want to do it. 
December: Oh yeah, there’s been a hiatus.

I logged onto Meebo for fun.
I chatted [...]

I was absolutely astonished to discover that I am #22 on the Online Education Database’s list of the top 25 bloggers. All grains of salt are required about the numbers. A bunch of blogs were not included in the study that could easily kick my pagerank backside. To name [...]

Edward Vielmetti, the ever illustrious Super-patron left a comment on my post called “We asked for 2.0 Libraries and we got 2.0 Librarians.” To spare you the use of your back button, I’ll put it here (it’s not long):
“library patron 2.0″. discuss

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 [...]
