I had a great time in Monterey at Internet Librarian this year, but boy, there sure were some aspects that I found frustrating and infuriating.

Did I have a good time at this year’s Internet Librarian conference? Boy, did I!
For one thing, I got to spend more quality time with some of my coworkers, who were at IL for the first time. We hit the aquarium, which was mindblowing. I think my jaw was in a state of perpetual droppedness […]
My teammate Amy is a wizard. Today, she added a line of code to our Library homepage so that when you go there, you can add our Library catalog to your IE7 or Firefox search box. Go ahead, try it. I’ll wait here.

The Good: I got to hang out with my witty, amusing coworkers. I […]

My favorite bit is the young man who is looking for a book, but can’t remember the author or title. “But the cover is blue!” Boy, the more […]
Friday afternoon is not a great time for major career revelations.
