Several people have asked me what I thought of Steven Bell’s recent post about a lack of “rigor” in library discourse. It’s a hard piece to discuss because its locus is undefined; it seems to be trying on arguments the way I try on clothes at Talbot’s, rushing in and out of outfits hoping to […]
This being a household-errand sort of day, I’ve been watching CNN off and on as an alternative to NPR (I loathe the Diane Rehm Show; I’m sorry, I just do) and I have heard Governor Corzine say over and over that by not wearing a seatbelt he set a bad example for young people. Frankly–and […]
Karen Coombs and Meredith Farkas have agreed to serve on the LITA Top Technology Trends panel. Finally, I’m no longer going to be the lone woman on the dais! I also expect that Karen and Meredith will bring new perspectives to the discussion. This is not to diss the wonderful long-distance contributions of “Librarian in […]
Reminder to feed subscribers: the new feeds are here… I would recommend subscribing to rss or rss2, and the comment feed: https://freerangelibrarian.com/comments/feed [comments] https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rss/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rss2/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rdf/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/atom/ You can find almost as many opinions of Dreamhost as there are users, but for the four years I’ve used them, they’ve been fine. Once in a while […]

I am trying to get the old feed files to point to the new files…it worked fine in test, but in real life… well, let’s just say the 404 traffic is brisk. Anyway, if you’d rather unsub and resub, just use these files (rss2 for most of you, atom for Walter :g:): https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rss/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rss2/ […]
I’m reinstalling Free Range Librarian into WordPress blogging software–at long last! Here’s a partial repost of what I said earlier today: Sometime today or tomorrow (the weekend of April 28/29, 2007), this blog, Free Range Librarian, will disappear, then… hopefully… reappear. Subscribers, note that I am going to do everything possible to redirect the feeds […]
Sometime today or tomorrow (the weekend of April 28/29, 2007), this blog, Free Range Librarian, will disappear, then… hopefully… reappear. Subscribers, note that I am going to do everything possible to redirect the feeds to the new feed URLs (which, WordPress-style, will be two feeds, one for posts and one for comments… though I’d like […]
David Weinberger’s "Everything is Miscellaneous" Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. This just arrived at 5 p.m. today, a few hours after I was on Open Source Radio providing librarian color (alongside Tim Spalding, who provided… thingology color?) for an interview with David Weinberger. I probably wasn’t that interesting, since I agree with David on many points, […]
At last Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. We look for signs everywhere, seeking confirmation from simple things of our hopes and plans. Late last November I ordered a pair of brown shoes, size 5M. Nothing fancy, just nice shoes for dress slacks, comfortably padded. I mail-order almost all my shoes, and that’s not just a Tallahassee […]
