LOL – People will record anything
So, after I left the Crown & Anchor pub one of the nights at IL, people discovered the wonders of the Xlerator hand dryer – watch it in action. Technorati Tags: il2006, il06
Gadgets, Gadgets, Gadgets!
I didn’t get to attend this session, but I can keep up because Aaron Schmidt has put the presentation online. The most confusing (and kind of useful) item – the USB heated gloves (on page 17) – at first I couldn’t figure out why I would have my laptop with me while out in the [...]
Wireless at Internet Librarian
This year I was doing double duty as a conference blogger and a MLS student. This means I needed reliable internet access. I was planning on paying for wireless, but as Sarah has pointed out – wireless was insanely priced at $50 a hour or $300 a day!!!! See the screenshot on Sarah’s blog. Instead [...]

By using a process that combines evidence-based design, user-driven planning, and extensive user testing, you can create a site that practically designs itself. Wisnewski will map out how a bottom-up design process is both easier, as well as [...]
Presenting Today
I know that I’m behind on my reporting – but I’ll catch up on the plane – I hope Today I give my first national conference – and I’ve been up since 4am CA time! Last night I was having too much fun with everyone to come back here and prepare – so now I’m [...]
OPAC Tips & Tricks for Improving User Experience
Glenn Peterson from engagedpatrons.org started out this presentation with template that read “Libraries Change Lives Through Lifelong Learning” – I LOVE IT!! Glenn reminded us of some big OPAC developments in the past year: ILS Customer Bill of Rights PatREST (more about this later) NCSU/Endeca Catalog NGC4Lib Mailing List Catalog searches everywhere (Amazon, Google, MySpace) [...]
