In the last decade, I have given dozens of presentations on topics ranging from intellectual freedom to technology trends. Due to my school schedule through summer 2006, my dog-n-pony shows not related to my day job at My Place of Work are limited to a few favorite stops, but if after that caveat you’d like [...]

I’ve noticed that twice as many of you are subscribed to the FRL RSS 1 feed. If your aggregator (blog reading software) supports it, consider switching to FRL’s RSS 2 feed, http://freerangelibrarian.com/index.xml (also listed on the purple navigation bar).

(Updated 6/04)
That title is misleading, because I am not at liberty to discuss the whole story–why Free Range Librarian, which began as a monthly serial published on a public Web site, suddenly vanished after two well-received issues in the fall of 2002.
