a little plug from across the pond

Hey, librarian.net is the Guardian Unlimited’s pick of the day today, neat!

Librarians are naturally good bloggers, and many of them have set up superb weblogs that are great reading, regardless of whether you’ve ever darkened the door of your local library. Today’s pick, Jessamyn West’s Librarian.net, is one of the best.

whoops! talk to me about emerging tech

Posted on 17Sep04 by jessamyn

Whoops, my talk on emerging technology is in Newport New Hampshire, not Newport Vermont. If anyone wants to drop me a line and give me some good examples of emerging technology in libraries besides the obvious [blogs, RSS, IM, virtual reference] I’d love to hear about it.

do you have YOUR card?

Posted on 09Sep04 by jessamyn

I spent the day at work on Tuesday working on my outreach display for National Library Card Sign-up Month. We have a lot of storefronts in the downtown area that are vacant. I spoke to the real estate agency that handles them and asked if we could use one of the windows — the one by the bus stop — for a library display. They said “sure” so now we have our READ posters and lots and lots of information about our library cards available to people who might not want to schlep up the hill to learn about them otherwise.

speaking of virtual reference

Speaking of virtual reference, I just realized that the issue of The Reference Librarian I edited that just came out is also available online with abstracts. There are some interesting articles about very different methods of providing “ask a librarian” services. Worth tracking down at your local library.
