Now that Atlanta-Fulton Public Library system is getting a new director and a significantly smaller board will the AFPL Watch site shut down? The AFPL site, if you haven’t read it, is a scathing and sometimes amusing indictment of one clearly dysfunctional library system, board and director written by “concerned citizens” and anonymous AFPL staff. How much of your own library do you see in it?
who is watching the library watchers?
Other pages where the phrase “library watch” features prominently: China Library Watch, bloggish library watch entry, Library Watch name for a library news page, Library Watch newsletter, Library Watch safety program at UofT, Library Watch the joke Fox series and, of course, the Library Watch Cat
karen’s moving on up, in green
I’ll be happy as hell when feeds that move have some way of automagically updating themselves in my aggregator if the blogs themselves post some little widget. For now, link propogation will have to do. Karen’s Free Range Librarian now has its own URL.

Hi. I’m messing with spam filters this week. In order to staunch the tide of junk email to bogus librarian.net addresses, I’ll only be accepting mail via the mailto form, or email at the domain-name-that-is-the-same-as-my-first name. Any mail going to cutsienamehere@librarian.net will go to /dev/null. I’m a bit sad, I liked the cutsienamehere game but until I get tougher spam filters for this account, I’ll be playing it safe.
make sure someone is in charge @ your library
