Please don't kill it

The blog helps librarians to communicate and share knowledge with each other. I request you to maintain it and just spam irrelevant users.

Cultural Research Launches Library Innovation Blog

I've started blogging at my Cultural Research site which originally launched as an archive of my academic research papers.

I'm particularly focused on connecting perspectives gained as a web publisher to the world of academic libraries though I also draw examples from public libraries, book publishers and any other source that seems relevant to rethinking our assumptions as librarians.

Lately I've been doing some simple book… Continue

I have not contributed but I often sign in to look at posts and find useful information. I would be disappointed if the sight when away. I've invited others to join.

New Open Source Digitial Library System

I expect it to be feature complete by 4/2/2010. At which point it will be opened up for public beta. The goal is to… Continue

In Europe we have several 'Library 2.0' groups which work quite effectively.

Another day in the life and times of a school librarian

The day started when I realized I had to just go and see Matt about my presenting the DCFbooks to his classes. He said the kids aren't reading the DCF books. Then I mentioned they might not be reading them because I hadn't talked about them yet, because he never got back to me aout a schedule.

He smiled and at least he said, oops.

Not so with the 6th grade teacher. She said she was waiting for me to get to her....she gave me times and I never responded...Not- I did talk to her… Continue

Location based services/pages your library should claim or monitor

Location based apps and services are getting a lot of buzz these days. Users can create webpages for each location, and usually they can check in to indicate to friends their location,earn points to gain "Mayorship" and/or post reviews and tips. In many cases, these services provide legitimate owners of these locations to "claim" the location.
