Moving to Wetpaint

If you read my last post you saw that I was a little disappointed that I did the LITA National Forum Wiki before I learned about Wetpaint. Well Chris Kollas from Wetpaint also read that post and has offered to help me move all of the info from pbwiki to Wetpaint so that I can [...]

Another Wiki Option

There is another free hosted wiki option to add to the mix. Wetpaint looks pretty darn slick. Combining the best of wikis, blogs, and forums, Wetpaint is the canvas where everyone gets a brush. From personal expression to collaboration, Wetpaint empowers you to connect with others on whatever you’re passionate about. I kind of wish [...]

New Conference Aggregator – HitchHikr.com

I just read about HitchHikr on 2 Cents Worth. It's a conference aggregator for lack of a better phrase. You'll see two lists of conferences in the panel to the right. The top list includes conferences that will be happening in the next month (in red), conferences that have already happened in the last month [...]

Yesterday I got a call from Marydee Ojala (editor of ONLINE Magazine). She mentioned that I should keep my eye open for ideas for articles as I worked on tweaking my intranet. I mentioned that I was too busy at work right now to write and that in a couple of months I was going [...]

No tar or feathers here

ILS

Iris over and Pegasus Librarian has a post explaining a little bit of why our library systems are the way they are. She says that she can empathize with vendors like Innovative, but not sympathize with them. I’d take that one step further – I empathize with the staff – the people in charge of [...]

I’m Back

I had a nice day on the beach yesterday (even if I am a bit burnt). My in-laws were reading “beach books” but I was happily reading The Accidental Library Manager. I’m such a geek – I was so happy when the book arrived in time for my vacation that I did a little happy [...]

It’s not that simple

ILS

Daniel Chudnov has a post over at One Big Library stating the problems with the ILS Customer Bill of Rights. While I agree with his points – he missed a big one. Since I was busy all day, someone beat me to pointing it out: I think I understand where he is coming from. But [...]
