WOW! Change is the major theme on the biblioblogosphere right now. Meredith has a great post about Knowledge Management at her institution.
T. Scott has a great comment on the post:
One of the things that I would encourage you to remember is that it doesn't take a LOT of the people in an organization to [...]

I wrote my review of The Accidental Library Manager last night. I mentioned that I liked the Managing Change chapter and then this morning I saw that Info Career Trends has a bunch on managing change in libraries:

What’s Online? Recommended Resources
What’s Your Story? Knowing Yourself Is Key to Surviving Change
It’s Not Personal, It’s Business: [...]

I can see why people would start to hate names with 2.0 in them. Last night I was watching TV when I saw a commercial for the new Nissan Altima. The theme was 2.0 all the way. They would show flashes of the car and then print something like Passion_2.0 and then [...]

A week or so ago I finished reading The Accidental Library Manager by Rachel Singer Gordon. I was waiting to have some time before I wrote about it - and now I have some time.
First, this is the second of Rachel’s books that I have read and I have to say I like her [...]

T. Scott posts about Permanent Change - he says things I’ve heard from him before - but he says something interesting - the source of all of my frustrations:
Most people are resistant to changes being imposed on them when they don’t see that the result of the change is going to be an improvement in [...]

I’m reading “Teach Beyond Your Reach” by Robin Neidorf. A lot of the content is more than I need to know in my job, but it’s pretty darn interesting.
I just finished reading about learning styles. Robin points us to a quiz at learning-styles-online.com that let’s us determine what type of learner we are. [...]

At least that’s what Tom (from Tombrarian) said to me today.
This is completely not library related - but I need to vent - feel free to read on - or not.
Yesterday I went into my basement to do a wash and found that my basement was flooded - not with water from the rain - [...]

I just read on the business2blog that Amazon is informally working on a way to let people open shops in Second Life and sell real goods.
Some engineers at Amazon are informally working on linking Amazon’s APIs to the virtual world Second Life. If that were to happen, it would mean that Second [...]

I am a board member for the Upper Darby Adult Evening Program. We’re a non-profit organization that offers night classes to Upper Darby and area residents. Upper Darby is in Delaware County, PA.
We’re in need of more classes/instructors and I’m emailing everyone I can think of. I figured I should probably post my [...]

I’ve heard a few speakers say that you should include your IM information and blog address on your business card - but what about designing your business card to match your blog?
I haven’t ordered this card yet, but my sister gave me a hand designing a new personal (not the one my library gave me) [...]

I added a few new pages - and updated some of the old pages. For those of you who only read this blog via RSS, you may not have noticed. On the right menu of this site I have included a link to an About Me page. I used to link to [...]

I mentioned that I was writing another article last week. Well I finished it and sent it in - I don’t know yet if it will be published, but I thought I’d share some of the ideas with you all.
I decided to take 2 routes. Route 1 was deciding to get someone in [...]

Last week was my birthday so I had some time off of work and then some time catching up at work.
I’m also on the board of directors for our township’s adult education program and we’re desperately trying to build onto our class offerings, but unlike the other area night schools, ours is not [...]
