When I started my Residency, I had “notions” about what I wanted to do, what my interests were now that I was officially a librarian. For some reason, the phrase “access services” was lodged in my head. When people asked me what aspect of librarianship interested me, I would say “access services” for some reason. [...]

Oakbrook, IL is no San Diego, but LOEX is such a great conference the location hardly matters. And, to be honest, I’d rather go home at night after a long day of conference sessions.
So, here’s the rundown of the sessions I attended.
Session 1: “Research 2.0- Research Blogs as Windows of Opportunity” Olivia Reinauer [...]
PBwiki webinar: Online Student Safety
Posted in learnin', wikis, tagged pbwiki, webinars on 18 April, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In the several workshops I’ve taught to faculty, staff and students on the subject of social software in general, or wikis in particular, the topic of student safety doesn’t really come up as much as I had anticipated it would. Personally, I don’t know a lot on the topic, though I cobbled together a wiki [...]

Wow. Today I attended a really disappointingly bad online seminar. Which is too bad because I’ve been on a roll of getting into some great ones. It’s especially too bad because it was three times more expensive than the great ACRL webcasts that I’ve been haunting lately.
To be fair, the presenter wasn’t bad. It was [...]

If you’re as fortunate as I am to work someplace that likes to give you money to make yourself a better person, ask yourself this: are you hoarding all this betterment as if it were a Toblerone?
I’ve been loading up on webcasts and conferences and seminars and classes until I barely have room on my [...]

So I don’t even remember how I found GCSE Bitesize, but it is so cool I have to share it. It’s really basic “revision” for students in English, Math(s) and Science with tidy little subject units. But what I’m really into is this great game called “State of Debate”.
The goal of the game [...]
Cranky or Critical?

About a year ago I applied for my job– my first professional, run-’em-through the ringers interview process with the phone-interview, the interview with the search committee, lunch with random people who like free lunches, chat with the dean, and the teaching demo. I was freaked out by the teaching demo. I’m not a [...]
