It actually feels like it’s gone by quite quickly, but that may be because I’ve only contributed about weekly instead of daily!  Some people wrote 30 posts (or more!) and some wrote less, but I count anything done that wouldn’t have been done as a winner. So, a great many people spent the 30th reflecting [...]

  A is for the artists who make up rant’s top 5 B is for the Birkenstocks that keep Hoi’s feet alive C is for the conferences and industry gatherings D is for the dinner that Jo wished she didn’t have to cook E is for the evening out, the sun set, take a look [...]

Professional professionals ACrystelle is planning an upcoming conference paper about her out-of-the-ordinary job.

On weekends our thoughts turn to food, hobbies and entertainment for the most part, but there are still a few serious posts in this lot. Kitchen Capers Spam Spam Spam (just kidding about this category) Timing Turkey and coriander balls in tomato sauce Turkey and coriander balls (Yep those meatballs go a long way) Crafty [...]

I wasn’t actually inspired by the A is for Apple meme (honest, guv!) but it makes for a lovely synchronicity. A is for Androids and apps for the iPad B is for Balwyn Library and blogrolls and more blog goodness C is for cheezels and caramello koalas D is for desks, despondency, and playing with [...]

The “Five Books Meme” continues, with Mal Booth, NewGradLibrarian, Macaronic, and Peta climbing aboard. Then the “Add exponentially to Deborah’s to-read list” theme continues with: Following flexnib’s suggestion of creating a “100 articles every librarian must read” list, Kathryn Greenhill starts the ball rolling with 40 articles plus a Zotero group where we can add [...]

Cunningly timed to give you plenty of weekend reading! Seven Things Katejf, FromMelbin, jobeaz, Teresa Bennett, a Public Librarian, Lutie, and Alethea all tackle the seven things meme. Help wanted Katejf asks about apps for iPad for research Kathryn Greenhill asks what people are doing well professionally/in their libraries Miss Sophie Mac asks for library-related [...]

I wanted to provide a different way for us to explore the posts from yesterday. This has not turned out as well as I’d hoped, but I thought another text-filled post might be hard to digest given the totally awesome response to this year’s challenge of blogging each day of June. So, here it is. [...]

I must confess to experiencing some difficulty keeping up with all the posts from Friday – already?? you ask – and so if I miss anyone in this summary, please accept my apologies. It’s the usual case of human operator failure, rather than anything else. The range of topics was definitely impressive. We had posts [...]

What do you write when you’ve already written your introductory post?  Some took comfort in food:  Hoi takes on cabbage, KateJF wine and rice, Teresa Bennett blueberries and porridge, Lissy lemon and honey — and Kris Wehipeihana is ready for the good kai of Matariki.  (Mm, I might have to go and raid the dried [...]
