I was reminded today by a little bird that I have been badly neglecting FRL, what with my hoity-toity big job and all. But today on the way back from a meeting with the folks at our statewide-automation-system-what-runs-our-catalog, I thought to myself, “Self, I have a post that I can’t do over at my hoity-toity [...]
Ok, tomorrow is the annual holiday open house, which means I am having my annual nervous breakdown. I have to bake two more pans of cookies, rustle up a ham (or as I disrespectfully refer to it, the Ham of God), clean the house (which means, in part, scooping piles of stuff into my office [...]
What’s on your library-technology wishlist for Santa? OPACs that users can use without training? Jam-free printers? A conference without any PowerPoint? Let me know by Tuesday, November 15, and I’ll consider it for a TechSource article appearing later that week. Of course, you could just stay mum and then comment on the item, but this [...]

The PALINET consortium asked me to post this job opening–essentially John Iliff’s position. It’s a great job and my sense is you could take it in many directions. If you’re hesitating because it seems to demand tech skills you aren’t sure you have or can acquire–but you consider yourself tech-savvy–go ahead and apply anyway. I [...]
I’m starting way, way late on this thread. I don’t leave for ALA until Saturday morning, and I’ve been distracted by things at My Place Of Work (MPOW) and elsewhere.
Plus my brain is blank. White, Arctic, empty-screen, blank. All I can think is this:
Librarianship is finally moving into the second person plural. We are no [...]
