I once heard Pat Schuman say if you want someone to remember a point you’re making, repeat it seven times. Over on Mentat, Lori Ayre (a welcome voice in the biblioblogosphere) talks about the possibilities of mashing up services such as AskNow.com with My Place Of Work.
You can call that the fourth time the [...]
(This is the 1,000th entry in Free Range Librarian!)
The new search engine has been through its most rudimentary review at a super-secret hidden test server for My Place Of Work, and we’re now looking for people willing to give anywhere from five minutes to a half hour or longer next week to attempt tasks, comment [...]

So I come back from a tea-making trip to discover that MPOW Central was under occupation. Not only that, but after the bird finally decided to leave, it continued to [...]
As I patiently hand-code the user comments in the survey for My Place Of Work (2,000 down, 4,000 to go!), I come across quite a bit of humor from librarians in the trenches. My favorite so far: “We could have the government declare war on you, then spend billions to subsidize your infrastructure…”

This is just a preliminary report on the 2006 user survey at My Place Of Work (MPOW). I’m writing this prior to going to PLA, in preconference gear-up mode, so it’s somewhat rudimentary.

Last Thursday I gave a talk about My Place Of Work to the Sierra Chapter of the Special Library Association, and next week (Thursday, 3/23, 4-5:15 p.m.) I’m giving pretty much the same talk (but co-presented with Buff Hirko of Washington State) to the Public Library Association. If PLA is anything like SLA was, this [...]
Today I think I talked to at least three vendors we work with from time to time. It reminded me of how much I like all but two vendors I’ve worked with at MPOW (and no, you won’t hear about Those Two on this blog; they are part of MPOW’s past). I don’t mean “am [...]
