Vocabulario Descontrolado
Monday, June 25th, 2007Greg Schwartz has decided to put together a weekly, hour-long, live podcast in which people call in to talk about issues and events in the Magical Land of Libraries. He’s calling it “Uncontrolled Vocabulary,” and has set up a blog and del.icio.us tags to go along with the show. The premiere show will be this [...]

Libraries Unlimited III
Sunday, October 8th, 2006I wrote a letter to the editor of the Lawrence Journal-World. The hardest part was keeping it down to the required 250 words or less. Brother, do I have a lot to say in response to Mark Hirschey’s piece! Of course, it’s a week after the opinion piece was published, so who knows my letter [...]
Libraries Unlimited II
Friday, October 6th, 2006John Blyberg has more thoughts about the Lawrence anti-library piece. He’s got a point: we should be listening to what people like Mark Hirschey have to say, even if their conclusions are completely off. That being said, the library can’t be all things to all people, and some folks will never be on our side. [...]

Libraries Unlimited
Friday, October 6th, 2006At this point, I’m sure everyone who reads this blog is aware of the opinion piece “Libraries are limited, obsolete” in the Lawrence, KS, Journal-World. The piece breaks my heart and angers my soul. But, honestly, talking about it in blogs doesn’t really do much good. (It’s not “strategic,” to quote Karen G. Schneider.) This [...]

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006What was the first library-related blog I read? The Shifted Librarian. Who first got me hip to RSS feeds? Jenny Levine. Who first showed me the fun of a public Bloglines blogroll? Jenny Levine. Who got some of my coworkers all fired up about blogs and wikis and RSS at last years NEKLS Tech Day? [...]
DOPAcabana
Friday, May 12th, 2006Great news! Our well-paid politicians in Washington have introduced a bill into Congress, with the oh-so-appropriate acronym of DOPA (Deleting Online Predators Act). The law would require any schools and libraries that receive federal E-Rate money to block any social networking sites from their computers. Now, you may be saying to yourself, “Wait a goshdarn [...]
How Do You Say “Closed Mind” in Japanese?
Thursday, April 20th, 2006Add this to Michael Stephen‘s “not even Library 1.0″ meme: Suburban LA County Pulls Manga Text from Libraries Bill Postmus, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of suburban San Bernadino County, California, has ordered the county’s libraries to remove the scholarly text Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics from circulation. He proudly announced the move, [...]
