My presentation on spiffing up your blog with CSS up at HigherEd BlogCon 2006
Thu 27 Apr 2006, 7:38 am
HigherEd BlogCon didn’t end with the end of the library track. This week has been the websites & web development track, and my presentation, Know Enough to Be Dangerous: Tools for Taking Control of HTML and CSS, is up today. A few thoughts: The screencasts I made with Camtasia turned out to be much larger [...]

Naked day at See Also
Tue 4 Apr 2006, 7:15 pm
When I saw that Dorothea Salo at Caveat Lector was going naked today, I thought I should join in. It’s all for a good cause, and goes nicely with my presentation for HigherEd BlogCon, where I’ll be talking about how to get dressed with style.

HigherEd BlogCon starts today
Mon 3 Apr 2006, 4:43 pm
HigherEd BlogCon starts today, with the teaching track running this week. (That means I have two weeks before I have to have my piece for the Websites and Web Development track completed. Whew!). This is a free conference: free as beer, free as in Creative Commons-licensed presentations. What is not to like about that? The [...]

Eleventh-hour HigherEd BlogCon submission
Mon 30 Jan 2006, 10:46 pm
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 [...]

Zeldman on "Web 3.0" -or- What are we doing right?
Fri 20 Jan 2006, 11:47 pm
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 [...]

Web design tools: Web Developer Extension and XHTML validator to RSS
Thu 12 Jan 2006, 4:53 pm
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 [...]

Librarian code skillz
Fri 16 Dec 2005, 10:41 pm
Do librarians need to be programmers? As the Simpsons’ Reverend Lovejoy says, “short answer, no with an if; long answer, yes with a but.” This memelet – librarians as coders – has been going around for the past few months. I first saw it when librarian.net linked to Dan Chudnov’s post A new era of [...]

Fewer words = better search?
Tue 22 Nov 2005, 9:36 pm
The post, eBay’s “fewer words” search from Jason on Signal vs. Noise struck a chord with me. He points out that when searching multiple words on eBay, if your search isn’t successful, eBay will show you how many hits you might get if you removed one or more words from your search (see my whimsical [...]

Internet Librarian: Federated Search Engines and Subject Pages
Mon 24 Oct 2005, 5:13 pm
I confess that I didn’t pay as close attention to this session as I might have, as both authors wrote very good articles on these subjects in the October 2005 issue of Computers in Libraries, which is free in bins here at the conference. The talk, however was quite good, and reminded me of many [...]

Internet Librarian: Users Driving Web Site Changes
Mon 24 Oct 2005, 4:38 pm
As I noted earlier, there is no way for me to continue to try and almost transcribe each talk. So, in the time-honored tradition of a student who takes pages and pages of notes at the start of the term, and ends up with a few words by finals, expect the posts from now on [...]

The only thing constant is change
Thu 13 Oct 2005, 3:32 pm
There is a post titled Library 2.0, Beta over at Library Crunch that has a few lines that I like very much: Constant change is replacing the older model of upgrade cycles. Let me repeat that, constant change is replacing the older model of upgrade cycles. Take a look at such sites as Flickr and [...]
