A Place to Go with your Copyright Questions

http://www.librarycopyright.net/ This site from ALA’s Washington Office is really nifty. The forum section is the biggy, and you can subscribe to an RSS feed that sorta keeps you up to date when new posts arrive, in theory anyway. Bookmark to:

So, remind me again what happens when I press the button?

Blogrolls Revised

I’ve groomed and added to the Library-Flavored Blogroll and removed the News blogroll from this site. If you miss it, let me know, and if enough folks ask for it, when I do the MT 3.1d upgrade this weekend I’ll try to work it into the page. I felt the news blogroll detracted from the […]

We the Librarians? (Go Buy Dan Gillmor’s Book!)

I’m seeing tremendous blogbuzz about “We the Media,” Dan Gillmor’s new book about the impact of blogging on journalism and news reporting. But I haven’t seen any citations for this book (even a notation of “purchased”) in any of a half-dozen major library catalogs I checked. Dan is a great thinker and writer, and he […]

Bay Area Reporter Seeks History/Trivia Questions

“I’m a reporter with the San Francisco Chronicle who is putting together a Bay Area history/trivia quiz, featuring questions about anything from history to geography to pop culture. I’d love to have your help. I don’t want items that are incredibly obscure, but would like items from all over the Bay Area that most people […]

My Summer (Non)Vacation

My buddy Michael recently chronicled his first few weeks in an online PhD program.

I’m in an MFA in Writing program at the University of San Francisco. The class of 2006 started […]

Metagrrl

I read very few personal blogs, but Metagrrl is fun. Dinah mixes librarianship, geekyness, and Bay Area localisms. Bookmark to:

Six Apart Party

Six Apart is the company that produces Movable Type, the blogging software I use. This was taken at their August 12 party. I link this photo to a large photo image of the same picture so you can hone in on some of the detail in case you think you know someone who was there. […]

Ted at Six Apart Party

I convinced my buddy Ted to come to the Six Apart party, if nothing else for the SWAG and free drinks. Within minutes he proved his mettle as a chick magnet. Sandy and I noshed and drank free wine while the blogerati mingled and Ben and Mena held court. I could do that every Thursday. […]

Class Photo (Pun Intended)

There were really nine students in this class section from my writing class at USF (David is the One That Got Away). From left to right: Chris, Deborah (instructor), Lars, Lisa, Elisabeth, Alexis, Liza, me, Marie. What a great class, such wonderful people. So glad it’s over, though–I have six weeks of People Magazine to […]
