Another Tech Day Wrap-Up
Saturday, August 4th, 2007I was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday. I was not feeling up to writing about going to NEKLS Tech Day the day before. I’m feeling better now, thank’s for asking, and so, once more, here we go with…NEKLS Tech Day 2007. The Good: I got to hang out with my witty, amusing coworkers. [...]
Hacking the Dominant Paradigm
Friday, June 8th, 2007Here’s an assumption of mine: the majority of library professionals expect that continuing education and professional development in the field will be done through formal classes, seminars, and conferences–which cost someone (the library professional or their place of employment) money and require face-to-face, in-person attendance. Technology and society being what they are, this isn’t as [...]
Spare Us the Cutter
Friday, March 2nd, 2007So, do I really think public libraries are doomed? No, not really. “Doomed” is too strong a word for it. Or to be more precise, if libraries don’t change with the changing times, I think they’re doomed, but I have every reason to believe they will change. But as both a library employee and a [...]
People Are Doin’ It For Themselves
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Looks like I’m not the only one. Maybe it’s a (dare I use the word?) zeitgeist thing*. On the very same day, Skagirlie laments that her OPAC sucks because it doesn’t do what Amazon, iTunes and LibraryThing do and Libraryman wonders why libraries don’t do what Pandora [...]
Don’t Gimme No Lip!
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007Michelle Boule brilliantly sums up Roy Tennant, John Blyberg, and Nicole Engard: Lip service is not the same as service! In other words, actions speak louder than words. Don’t talk the talk if you’re not willing to walk the walk. And y’know, as far as I’m concerned, that goes for ILS vendors and libraries. It [...]
New Directions
Sunday, February 18th, 2007Q: Josh, why are you excited to start your new job? A: Because, this is the kind of atmosphere I’ll be working in. How could I not be excited?
I’ll Show You Mine, If You Show Me Yours
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007“If only every library had a John.” So said Sarah Houghton-Jan, talking about John Blyberg and the SOPAC features he designed for AADL. (Although it does sort of sound like she’s talking about something else, taken out of context. There are some days I wish my library had 4 or 5 johns. But no one [...]
