From Sarah Houghton-Jan (LibrarianInBlack), more about bringing other work to the reference desk. Peter Bromberg (Library Garden) asks, are you an agent or a gatekeeper?
Paul R. Pival (Distant Librarian) comments re a Jon Udell article about hunting the elusive search strategy. Speaking of searching, Christopher Harris (Infomancy) has found the power of illegal plurals.
Jennifer Graham (jennimi) says Web 2.0 is kind of like jazz. Robert J. Lackie (Library Garden) writes about using Web 2.0 technologies in practical and worthwhile applications. T. Scott continues the conversation about Library 2.0. Ken Varnum (RSS4Lib) came up with WOMBLINK, a bit of code to help folks blog about your library.
Should professional blogs (all professions) be archived? Christopher Harris (Infomancy) says we should think about how to capture all this shared thinking and writing. What about LIS blogs? Dave Hook (Industrial Librarian) wonders whether the posts highlighted in Carnival of the Infosciences couldn’t be turned into a book. Walt Crawford (Walt at Random) comments re turning books into blogs.
More bloggers writing magazine columns:
– Meredith Farkas (Information Wants to Be Free): “Technology in Practice” (American Libraries).
– Michael Porter (Libraryman) and David Lee King: “Internet Spotlight” (Public Libraries).
Is the press writing about your online project? Jill Hurst-Wahl (Digitization 101) reminds us to insist that the URL for the projects be printed in the articles about them.
From PLA Blog: Proposed New Service Responses: Draft.
Rick Roche (ricklibrarian) writes about Aaron Schmidt (who just added another job to the list) as an example of librarians crossing traditional boundaries.
At Re:Generations, Pascal writes that new librarians should be thinking about management roles. To help them become involved, Gillian has a suggestion for how to restructure associations to get more work done.
Rachel Singer Gordon (Liminal Librarian) reminds us to think personally, act professionally.
