Hi — I went crazy with RSSing this weekend and set up Feedster feeds for my booklist and for my personal journal/blog thing, in case you’re interested.

Hi. Last month at the library I taught an email class and 25 people showed up. This month my email class netted three people, two of whom had been at the last class. The vagaries of the library world still mystify me some days.

Hi. Back from New York. I learned a lot of neat stuff at Columbia and I really really hope that they will make the talks available online at the same time as I really really doubt they will do so. Crossing fingers…

Hi. I’m staying someplace in what I think is the “upper west side” here. I went to a meeting of the Progressive Librarians Guild last night which was really fun. Met some cool library students and librarians and said hello to some old friends. If you’re interested in progressive issues and you’d like to know more librarians, look these folks up, especially if you are in the NYC area. A lot of good thinking going on there, dues are cheap and you don’t have to be a member of ALA. [site hosted on Libr.org which as a new store up and running]. I got a Brooklyn Public Library card which may allow me to hassle smartie BPL librarians with “ask a librarian” questions in the afternoon hours.

Hi. My talk went well and is available in the very-slimmed-down slide format here. It was really exciting to get to hang out with a bunch of super-smart librarians who mostly “get” technology and hear what they had to say and what they were working on. I was the only public librarian in the room which I found quite amusing. People seemed to like my talk. The keynote by LoC librarian [and former private investigator?] Thomas Mann was unforgettable and I’ll try to sum it up in some notes later. No WiFi at Columbia, though there is WiFi through the walls of my friends’ Brooklyn apartment. Updates spotty for a few days.
