Ah, California

I’m in Monterey attending the Internet Librarian 2007 conference. I’ve had a perfectly lovely weekend and will need to send thank-you cards to Walt and Marsha and Thomas and Jenny and Alexis and Marie and Dinah and Gail, and I’ve eaten mmmmmmmmmmmm so many good things, glad I wore nice roomy cords, and I’ve seen [...]

Williamsburg Regional Library Staff Day Presentation

I put the slides on Google after two uploads to slideshare.net failed abysmally.  (My talk was also greatly enriched by two slides I stole, one from Andrew Pace and the other from Darlene Fichter. Thanks ;-)  )
This was a great experience. I haven’t done a pure “2.0″ talk in over a year, which meant I [...]

Do you use Meebo-me or AIM for reference?

If you are using Meebo-me or AOL instant messaging for reference at Your Place Of Work, and you will have your chat window open as of 8 a.m. ET this Thursday, October 18, and would be willing if I popped in sometime between 8 and 10 a.m… well, I would be most graceful, that’s what.
I’m [...]

A Dangerous Woman

[updated] I woke up early Saturday morning, the last day of a galvanizing good conference on the future of library catalogs (Carl Grant and Michael Norman were especially good; no, they were amazing, and Kate Sheehan of Librarything for Libraries was fabu), and tore my presentation to shreds.
My talk the previous day had been all [...]

ASERL Presentation: Reclaiming the Heartland

’tis a bit oblique without my voiceover, but gives you some idea of what I discussed at ASERL’s “Age of Discovery” conference yesterday. (For example, it doesn’t include my explanation that after Dewey and Cutter had a fallout, Dewey got the big numbers and Cutter got the small ones.)
