I have mixed feelings about manifestos, but I really like this one from Laura Cohen - check out A Librarian’s 2.0 Manifesto.
(For what it’s worth, her Library 2.0: An Academic’s Perspective is one of my new favourite blogs!)

You may be sick of hearing about Web 2.0, and you may have already seen this feature mentioned elsewhere, but for those who haven’t, take a look at The Guardian’s Web 2.0 issue.

Sydney 12 October 2006
From Tom Goodfellow.
There were around 30 librarians crammed into a small room to hear from Stephen Abram, star of the biblioblogosphere and possessor of a highly impressive CV. The seminar covered a vast amount of ground – rather too much for our 3-hour timeslot, to be honest. I’ll try and cover the [...]

I’m sure many of you will have seen this: Five weeks to a social library, a great course that is the “first free, grassroots, completely online course devoted to teaching librarians about social software and how to use it in their libraries”.
The preliminary program looks great, so if you’d like to participate consider applying now [...]

Welcome if you’re visiting this blog for the first time after hearing all about it at our recent ALIA Biennial!
Feel free to explore what we have here and leave a comment or two if you have anything to say - or just let us know you were here! I’m feeling energised (and tired [...]

My posts here have been a little scant of late, mainly because I have been preparing for the conference. Now that it’s started, I can hardly believe it.
I’m hoping to blog my experiences as much as I can, but I think it’s a rather fine line between spending all my time on a computer while [...]

I’ve recently noted a couple of new blogs by Canadian University Librarians.
The University Librarian at Simon Fraser University Library, Lynn Copeland, blogs at Distracted Truffle Pig (great name!).
The University Librarian at McMaster University Library, Jeffrey Trecziak, is blogging too. Thanks to Michael Stephens for the pointer!
Both blogs have started with interesting posts. Lynn talks about [...]

I spotted this chart a couple of weeks ago but didn’t manage to get around to looking at it more closely until tonight. Joyce Valenza’s put together a great chart looking at the quite dramatic differences that have occurred during her thirty years of practice as a teacher librarian. She compares the sorts of information [...]

Just noted: the launch of the official Click 06 Conference Blog. It’s good to see that Click 06 is going to be blogged about - as we also have the Blog the Conf blog, and Tom and Sarah in Sydney will be coming over, and are going to blog their experiences, too. Anyone else? Do [...]

You may have noticed the small orange icons on the right, near the bottom of this blog page, “Feed” and “Comments feed“, and below that an icon with the information “73 readers by Feedburner” (at least as of this evening). This tells me that at least 73 regular readers of this blog are subscribers who [...]
