library catalog tutorial from Infopeople
Infopeople has done the seemingly impossible. They have created a library catalog tutorial that works with just about any online library catalog. It’s a little generic but I found that even though my OPAC at work is pretty much nothing like the one they illustrate, people can still understand how to map from one to the other. Point your users to it, it’s really helpful.
eleven must-have comics for libraries
My friend Steve — who is married to a real live librarian — compiled a list of eleven graphic novel/comic titles that libraries should shelve. The idea caught on and now TangognaT [holy crap I never noticed that was a palindrome before!] has collated those lists into one uberlist.
our work and why we do it
Sometimes people ask me what my job as an outreach librarian is like. I can now tell them that it’s a little bit like this, though not entirely, I also work at the reference desk
RIP Janet Foster, public librarian
RIP Janet Foster Danbury Public Librarian, the librarian who once said “I can’t believe I’m getting paid to have this much fun.” [thanks rebecca]
