A New Years countdown clock

The Obvious

Funny I was so into creating my labels (tags) that I forgot the obvious one: 23 Things.

I will have to correct this minor detail, and remember the tags do not have to be so formal, or LC subject headings. Thats the fun of it.

Thing 12 2.0 and The Libraries Future

Well it took me a while, but I finally was able to link a You Tube video to my blog.

Now I can continue on my TLC 2.0 journey.

Yes, Library 2.0 has aided in helping libraries keep up with the ever changing technology. This technology has effected how and how fast we get information to the library customers.

But, look out; coming soon to a library near you is Library 3.0.

Librarians will be spending more and more time in the electronic frontier.

Below is a sample of a job announcement I found in a document entitled “Library 3.0: where art our skills?”

By: Dr Grace Saw Executive Manager, Physical Sciences and Engineering Library Service at the University of Queensland Library in Australia, and Ms Heather Todd Executive Manager Biological and Health Sciences Library Service at the University of Queensland Library in Australia.

Thing #9 Tecnology and the Future of Libraries

What a better way to look at the future of libraries and web 2.0 than a futuristic look.



See YouTube.com Libraries in 2010

It's entertaining however, toward the end of the video it provides logical suggestions on how libraries can remain leaders in providing information insure libraries place in future society.

On A Lighter Note - Let's Take A Break

Meet Becky

I rescued her about 3 months ago.

Once abused and homeless. She is now safe, warm, very spoiled and pampered.

But don't you tell her.

Thing # 3 continued

Had a few snags along the way, but managed to muddle through.
Could not make my bloglines open to public viewing using “public/dlibrarian” in the address. However it did allow viewing of my public subscriptions when I used “blog/dlibrarian”

Wonder why??

23 Things

The use of RSS feeds grow more more everyday.

I feel it would be a great way for library customers to stay up to date with new services their library may provide. They could also subscribe to a particular subject area and receive info on new materials and programs in their area of choice.

But beware and not get carried away too adding to many feeds. It can be hard to keep up; often I was struck with information overload.

See an example of feed overload from my first bloglines account I created a couple of years ago. http://www.bloglines.com/public/cdixson



My new bloglines account is a lot more streamline.

Movin on Up

It is funny how many times I've posted to bloglines; and it never once occurred to me to learn how to create my own blog.

Back in 1974 when I became a librarian, the closest thing to a blog was the editorial section of a newspaper.

Well here it is!!

Join me in my learning adventure.

Hurray for progress ***************
