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 – 06jun
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
Greg has a scary tale with a happy ending about a weather scare that tested his new supervisor skills.
amazing, and probably cost-effective, Georgia public goes open source
Georgia Public Library System decided to go with a homegrown open-source system for their library automation needs. I’m going to be really interested to see how much this solution costs the library over time, compared to a more traditional OPAC. My guess is it will cost less, both in vendor costs and also less lost staff time installing and fighting with new upgrades, featuritis and bad support. [teknobib]
