I just took Meredith Farkas’ biblioblogger survery. Got yerself a little ol’ blog? Are you a library person? Then do what I did, and take the survey.
It was with a heavy heart that, due to a variety of circumstances, I had to miss last night’s Uncontrolled Vocabulary. But in general, I do my utmost to listen and participate in the conversation. And so should you. Why? Cindi Trainor has some reasons for you, so go read her blog. And if you […]
Friday afternoon is not a great time for major career revelations.
I was talking with a coworker this afternoon about ALA. She was talking about why she’s a member, and I was talking about why I’m not. For her, ALA is a source of professional development and community. As I’ve said before, I feel I get […]
Last night’s premiere of Greg Schwartz’s “Uncontrolled Vocabulary” was an immense amount of fun. It was also an interesting exercise in multitasking streams of information and conversation, as I was listening to and participating in the discussion, reading the typed chats that some participants were typing out, reading the articles we were discussing, and reading […]
Tonight is the premiere of “Uncontrolled Vocabulary,” 10 pm Eastern/9 pm Central/figure the rest out on your own. Call in and join the conversation!

Karen G. Schneider for hire! Karen is looking for work, and boy, if I could hire both her and Walt Crawford, I could rule the school!
Sadly, I have neither the funding nor the influence to get Karen a job. But I can offer my best wishes, so…best of luck, KGS!
As Walt blogged about, the Library Society of the World Meebo room got attacked by guerrila spambots on Thursday afternoon. I was at work and had a meeting to go to, so there wasn’t much I could do about it. I quickly posted on the Meebo forums, then suggested to the people in the chat […]
For reasons that are beyond me, OCLC is letting Walt Crawford go. (I’m not going to introduce Walt because, well, I’d be shocked if anyone reading this blog doesn’t know who Walt is.) If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Gee, wouldn’t it be great if Walt worked for me? Too bad OCLC snatched him up,” […]
I woke up this morning to find that Meebo now has chat rooms. Chat rooms have been around for ages, but Meebo’s are awfully slick. You can incorporate multimedia into them, so that they make excellent conferencing and collaboration areas. At a coworker’s suggestion, I created a Meebo room for my colleagues and me to […]
