Stephen Abram has a great post about The Library 2.0 ‘Bandwagon’ on his blog. If you’re on the wall about Library 2.0 then this is the post to read. Stephen makes some great points that (I hope) will shut the mouths of the people debunking Library 2.0 and make them go “hmmmm”. make [...]

My RSS Feed is doing something funny. A bunch of posts that I didn’t touch today have shown up as updated. I am still playing with settings and plugins for this new release - so I’m just going to assume it’s a problem with that and apologize to you all for the many new [...]

The 26th Carnival of the Infosciences can be found at Data Obsessed.

I mentioned this weekend that I wasn’t a fan of the new WordPress for 2 main reasons. Well I’ve solved #1 and I can deal with #2
#1 was that I don’t like TinyMCE - thanks to the WP Support forums I have learned how to turn off the WYSIWYG editor and use [...]

The Torn Librarian has a great post about the “schism” that is deepening between those in the professional library world who are tech savvy and those who aren’t.
What is this you ask? Well, the savvy are the people that are comfortable and/or enthusiastic about technology and its implementation in the library (Wikis, Blogs, RSS feeds, [...]

I’ve talked about online spreadsheet programs before. Now Solution Watch has a review of Thumbstacks - an online presentation maker.

I just stumbled upon Free Classic AudioBooks. It offers a few classics in windows media format and in m4b audio book format for iTunes and the iPod. It says that the titles will be updated frequently. The thing that caught my attention was that these titles are mostly popular classics - not titles [...]

I have chosed chosen a different theme to go with my newly updated blog. For those of you who don’t usually visit stop by and see the new look.

Everyone gave this new release rave reviews, but I have a few problems.
#1 - I am not a fan of TinyMCE. I demoed it when we were choosing an editor for our Intranet - and we decided against it. I hate the fact that when I click on HTML or the insert link [...]

From Bloglines News:
If you are like most Bloglines users, you’ve found that it’s too easy to subscribe to a ton of feeds but way too hard to keep them organized. While modern medicine has yet to invent a pill to cure Bloglines addiction, the feed management improvements we released yesterday will at least help you, [...]

A glossary for the blogosphere, Blogossary “is an online dictionary for bloggers, wannabe bloggers, or those who just want to know what a blog is.”
Nifty!

Thanks ::schwagbag:: for pointing me to the Flickr pictures of Google Page Creator - which by the time I had read about it was in such high demand that Google isn’t letting anyone else create accounts - for now
Well I guess I’ll have to let you know what I think when they open [...]

I just attended A SirsiDynix Institute Conversation: The 2.0 Meme - Web 2.0, Library 2.0, Librarian 2.0, and aside from the fact that our library doesn’t cater to teens and a lot of conversation focused on them, it was a great presentation.
The thing that stuck with me the most was the Librarian 2.0 [...]

Okay, yesterday I asked about tags. Today I want to ask about pings and the blog finder.
I have added What I Learned Today… to the Technorati site. I have set up WordPress to automatically ping Technorati when I post a new post - I also visit pingoat on occasion to send pings to a bunch [...]

This is too funny!! Thank Brian for giving me a good laugh! Check out The Blogga Song at The Laughing Librarian.
If you look real close you’ll see What I Learned Today… fly by on the screen.

I have to admit I’m not an IM person. I used to be - but lately IM bugs me. Maybe it’s not IM - maybe it’s just the people who bug me on IM
I do however think that IM in libraries is a must! If I could have a work [...]

I have tried to get Technorati to find my posts, but I keep failing. The help file reads:
If your blog software supports categories and RSS/Atom feeds (like Movable Type, WordPress, TypePad, Blogware, Radio), just use the included category system and make sure you are publishing RSS/Atom feeds and your categories will be read as [...]

It’s funny that right as I’m complaining to my staff here that I HATE our ILS (oh boy did you miss a great temper tantrum on my part) , other librarians are doing the same. John Blyberg discusses The Rime of the Ancient ILS, Sarah Houghton talks about how Library Systems Vendors Stray from [...]

Our Internet decided to go down this weekend - talk about withdrawal!! I was able to get things to work if the computer is hooked directly into the modem - but our wireless router seems to be on the fritz (it was free - you get what you pay for) - so my laptop [...]

I got my password for the Edgeio demo the other day and I logged in and couldn’t think of any way to use this service. What is Edgeio?
edgeio dynamically organizes listings published from RSS enabled websites making them discoverable via the edgeio website and through an open set of web services. Our goal is [...]
