So I see here that I haven’t posted since 2007. Typical. I’m glad I fit right in with those statistics detailing how many people leave their blogs for dead. This blog was started for a class at the beginning of my Master’s program in library and information science so it’s appropriate that the occasion of [...]
Say hello to my Little Kindle!
So.. read the article in the Nov. 26 Newsweek about Amazon and the Kindle. About six people I know (outside of school) had asked me about it before I even got the issue in my mailbox. (Yes – I get it in hard copy.) My family and friends know I’m in Library School and often forward [...]
the power of the bloggers
really interesting article by the guy tha came up with the phrase web 2.o … http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html?page=3
particularly fascinating is the take he’s got on blogging … how personal web pages and online journaling have been around forever but that the RSS feed technology has made journaling 2.0 (blogging) so important in the model of today’s internet [...]
Time Enough at Last
you’ll have to read my previous post before this one. I posted back-to-back
ok, so then i read Free Range Librarian’s response http://freerangelibrarian.com/2007/08/29/on-gentleness-and-librarianship-and-20-ish-ness-and-they/ to the Annoyed Librarian’s post. I dig her. She’s way more real-life. She doesn’t like the whole ‘they’ thing. ‘I’m fine with it but THEY don’t want it.’ She rags on AL’s they-talk. Good for [...]
Those crazy rock-and-roll librarians
Was just reading the blog by Annoyed Librarian “The Cult of Twopointopia” http://annoyedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2007/08/cult-of-twopointopia.html … wow, that’s one attitude-y chick! And, yeah, it took me a minute to get that one… 2 … (point) … 0 … pians. I didn’t realize that ‘Library 2.0′ was some kind of cult or something as AL clearly portrays it. Now, [...]
As I’ve reaped, let me sow…
I have read the blogs of my classmates .. how cool is it (and how much of a coincidence… hmmm?) that I am in a class with such a group of people? They read. They write well. They think about stuff. They endeavor to embrace change while respecting history. They are funny, and thought-provoking, and, [...]
This was the first thing…
…. i remember about my path to being a librarian.
I was in 3rd grade. My favorite place in the world was the school library. I loved reading with my whole young soul. We had two days a year when the librarian (a VERY old lady of I’m sure at least 40) would set out tables adn [...]
