Well that wasn’t an easy task. I had a list of about 25 classes I wanted to take and I only need 12. I want to finish in 1 year (3 classes a term) so I had to narrow my list because of class offerings. I then narrowed my list based on classes I probably [...]
How cool is this? I did a search for Sunday Circulars because I want to go out and buy another bookshelf. I visited Target’s site and right away an RSS button jumped out at me on the left side of the page. See here. You can get the Sunday specials delivered to your aggregator! RSS [...]
Meredith Farkas has a great post over on TechEssence – Continuous Learning: Making it a Priority Without Breaking the Bank: Our field is changing at an almost bewildering speed. Libraries all over the world are coming up with new technologies, new ways to adapt technologies for libraries, and new ways to provide services to patrons [...]
I just learned about GuruLib – another personal library indexing package. How is this one different? It lets you keep track of which shelf you have the books/movies/cds/games on in your house!! That would be great – I always say to my husband “it’s on the shelf in the office” and he says “no it’s [...]

I just attended an amazing webinar hosted by the SirsiDynix Institute on Library Conflict Management. The presenter was Pat Wagner of Pattern Research – amazing speaker – website could use some work (sorry Pat). This was the first webinar I had attended with 400 people in it!

Okay, last night I had one of those dreams that makes you wake up mad! I’m sure you’ve all had them – so you can understand how I started my morning in a bad mood only to read 2 lines on 2 different blogs that set me off!! #1 – Chad of Library Voice included [...]
