[Note: the post below started out as a comment on Library Juice, but I decided to move it over here as it got a bit too long and wide-ranging for a comment. Besides, I have been doing a lot more commenting than blogging lately (to the point of being a virtual squatter in one thread [...]

Two posts on presentations at Cil2006 reminded me of one my pet peeves when watching conference presentations: presenters who don’t “get to the good stuff” right up front. First, Sarah Houghton at Librarian in Black warns us to Beware Ego Centric Conference Sessions: The thing that annoys me the most at conferences is not PowerPoint [...]

Walt Crawford said it: it feels like all the cool kids are at Computers in Libraries (well, some of the cool kids are at PLA, but that’s not my scene, man). Even Flickr knows that “cil2006″ is hot–no kidding, check out the pics. Just a reminder that you can stalk the cool kids from afar [...]

Back in 2002, I was the Digital Projects Librarian at the Science and Engineering Library at the University of California, San Diego. My boss at the time, Anna Gold, suggested that I could make myself useful by trying to keep the rest of the staff up-to-date on what was happening with the Digital Library Program [...]

A while back, I said that someday soon, we won’t be talking about the “read/write web” or “Web 2.0″; instead we will just say “the Web” and mean exactly the same thing. As more and more people take advantage of social software and create their own content online, the less we will settle for top-down [...]

Updated 2006-03-09: I changed the title from “Online Learning Daily goes offline,” since that isn’t really true. The site is still there, but Downes is taking a break. I want to read and write a little more about academe and higher education, so in the past few months I have picked up several higher ed. [...]

The comments on this blog have really picked up lately, which is exciting for me.
