OK, I squeaked my proposal for HigherEd BlogCon in at about the eleventh hour. I had a lousy week last week (though not as lousy as my son Luke, who had pneumonia (he’s fine)), so this got put way on the back burner. If you care to see it, I ended up submitting it to [...]

Thanks to TangognaT’s (whom I have now just linked to twice this evening, and whose palindromic nom de blog I have only just now figured out) link, I read web designer and standards evangelist Jeffrey Zeldman’s article Web 3.0. The article and ideas don’t map seamlessly to Library 2.0; libraries never had a “bubble” that [...]

ferriswhell at night by foverversouls on Flickr. Posted here thanks to the Creative Commons. TangognaT was kind enough to link to my Library 2.0 hangover post in the “Editor’s Choice” section when she hosted Carnival of the Infosciences #20 on Monday. After some confusion months ago, I finally understood that the Carnival was a weekly [...]

Dave’s Blog links to an interesting job ad from Wayne State University: Next Generation Librarian This looks like a job with a lot of cool, fun responsibilities. One would hope that the institution is ready to implement what this person is likely to recommend. Given what Jeff Trzeciak, Associate Dean at Wayne State University, says [...]

I don’t keep a blogroll here for various reasons–lack of space, not wishing to alienate bloggers who don’t make my list (though I can’t imagine anyone would care too much), not wanting to have to maintain the thing as I add and drop blogs. I don’t make my Bloglines subs public because I only use [...]

I thought I’d start a new category of “tools” on this blog, where I’d share some of the tools and applications that I use in my work. Today, I have two web troubleshooting tools I’d like to mention. Web Developer Extension The Web Developer Extension, a Firefox (and Mozilla and Flock) extension written by Chris [...]

Alternate titles for this post: There is no such thing as Library 2.0 and this is a blog post about it. (Apologies for bastardizing the first line of Steven Shapin’s book The Scientific Revolution.) How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? And are pin-dancing angels really Library 2.0? I have spent [...]

I have been continuing to think about Library 2.0, whatever it may be (aren’t we up to library 2.0.1 or something?), but still don’t have a nice juicy post put together for See Also yet. I have, however, been quite busy with the comments on other blogs. I hope this isn’t too cheesy, but I [...]

I don’t follow college football in any serious way, but I have a big soft spot for Penn State coach, Joe Paterno. Joe and his wife, Sue, were the co-chairs of the expansion campaign for the PSU library in the 1990s, and, in addition to raising $14 million, they gave a quarter of a million [...]

I didn’t really intend to take the time off between Christmas and New Year’s Day, but that’s how it worked out. Here, one day late, is my personal wrap-up of 2005. Blogs I started this blog back in August, and so far the experience has lived up to my expectations. I haven’t posted as often [...]
