I finally have a copy of the March issue of American Libraries in my mitts and I can see the “Mattering in the Blogosphere” article for myself. Boy, do I share the space with some smart, articulate people! Strangely, the article doesn’t provide URLs for the blogs, so here they are: Blake Carver, LISNews Nicole [...]
I let my ALA membership lapse a while ago, so I have no idea if the March issue of American Libraries is in people’s hands yet, but if it is, you may have seen that the cover story is on librarian bloggers–and I’m one of the bibliobloggers in the article. Back in January, I got [...]
With some help from Chris at Libraryola, I got my Library Links button and blogroll set up in my sidebar. “Library Links”? Oh, yes. Jessica the Cool Librarian has decided to start a librarian community blogroll. You stick the button and some javascript somewhere on your blog, linking to her Library Links page, then shoot [...]
“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 [...]
Jessica the Cool Librarian has started a new group blog to discuss library matters (and related topics) as a community. I’ve joined on as one of the moderators, and as a mod, I encourage anyone and everyone to sign up and start posting and commenting. Behold, Library Talk!

I’m not anywhere close to being a topnotch Linux guy, so when I [...]
Karen G. Schneider wasn’t at Internet Librarian, so I still haven’t gotten a chance to meet her in person. That makes me sad. But she made a video and posted it on YouTube, sending a greeting to a bunch of IL bloggers, including myself! That makes me very happy.
I’ve been blogging for 5 years now, and I’ve only just started to really think about why. No, that’s not entirely right. In 2001, you didn’t need a good reason to blog. In 2006, I think you do, and with the premiere of MPOW’s blogs, I’ve been thinking about my reasons and the reasons for [...]
Last night, I went to a “Wikipedia meetup” organized by Brenda Hough and attended by Erica Reynolds, Dave King and a bunch of other smart library types. So many good questions were asked, so many good points were raised, it’s going to take me some time to talk about everything I want to talk about [...]
