They re-took my picture for the liaison flyers, and I like the second one much more than the first, so it has replaced the first picture in the upper left corner of this blog. Also, I have added a listing of the five most recent comments posted to this blog on the sidebar (just below … Continue reading “changes”

They re-took my picture for the liaison flyers, and I like the second one much more than the first, so it has replaced the first picture in the upper left corner of this blog. Also, I have added a listing of the five most recent comments posted to this blog on the sidebar (just below the topics). I don’t know if anyone else cares about it, but I find that feature useful on other blogs that I read. It keeps me up to date on any commentary added to a posting after I have already read it.

one more

Another Georger started his own blog last night, too! Pedro (aka Peter) has been reading Chad’s blog and was so impressed by it that he decided to make his own. I look forward to seeing what he does with it.

rebecca blood

I read her book We’ve Got Blog last fall, and it inspired me to keep on with my blog and give it more solid content. I’m not sure of where I first heard of this weblog thing. Maybe it was a story on NPR. Actually, it probably was. But what got me really interested in … Continue reading “rebecca blood”

I read her book We’ve Got Blog last fall, and it inspired me to keep on with my blog and give it more solid content. I’m not sure of where I first heard of this weblog thing. Maybe it was a story on NPR. Actually, it probably was. But what got me really interested in it was reading a profile of Jessamyn West in a library journal (possibly even Library Journal). In any case, I finally decided to check it out and started my own on Blogger.

Somewhere not too long after that, I read a review of this book that Rebecca Blood edited, and I thought, “That’s something we need in our Staff Picks/Popular Collection.” So, I ordered it. Over lunch for several days, I read the history of weblogs, and it made me very appreciative of tools like Blogger and Moveable Type. The odd thing is, I never went an read her blog. That is, until today. I’ll be adding it to my RSS feed reader.

librarians blogging about librarian blogs

Go figure! Greg Schwartz of Open Stacks and Steven M. Cohen of LibraryStuff are collaborating on a blog that is all about librarian & library created blogs. Schwartz already maintains the librarian weblog category of dmoz, so it makes sense that he would be involved a blog of this nature. Now I have another blog … Continue reading “librarians blogging about librarian blogs”

blogging in the virtual classroom

I took a literature class last fall, and there was an attempt by one member of the class to get a blog going on topics related to the literature we were reading. I was the only other person with blogging experience, so it was just the two of us who seemed interested. Today, I put … Continue reading “blogging in the virtual classroom”

I took a literature class last fall, and there was an attempt by one member of the class to get a blog going on topics related to the literature we were reading. I was the only other person with blogging experience, so it was just the two of us who seemed interested. Today, I put a link in the library catalog for a free peer-reviewed ejournal that discusses technology use for educators. It’s called The Technology Source and it’s published bimonthly by the Michigan Virtual University. One of the articles in the most recent issue caught my eye. It is on using blogs to facilitate online courses and puts more emphasis on the professor communicating with the students than on student interaction, but it is still an interesting article.
