Week Two


While I think that Google Alerts, Social Mention, and (especially) Addictomatic are very cool, I cannot imagine having the time to make good use of them. My current position doesn't allow me much time to do more than keep my head above water, and I'm at it more than 40 hours/week. In my neck of the woods funding cuts and reduction in staffing has people doing much more with less. I hope there are some timesavers coming up in the 21 Things!

Hand helds for Noble


Imagine being in the stacks and having the catalog and the internet in the palm of your hand! This will be an adventure.

We are renovating our Noble Branch of Cleveland Heights-University Heights Library. Plans include adapting our cutting edge (so last century) "roving reference" to a smaller branch library setting. I love the juxtaposition of 1930's retro decor and 22nd Century tools to do reference where it happens.

Thoughts on Web 2.0




So Web 2.0 is to Web 1.0

21 Things and Technology


This is from Jean Luc Picard-the-Action-Figure's Facebook page, and it reminds me of something about Star Trek that's always made me feel uneasy. No ship's librarian.
Thinking about embarking on the 21 Things journey makes me think about a good journey like the one about seeking out new life,etc....right on to the split infinitive.
Off to explore some gadgets...
