Carnival of the Infosciences #4

lis.dom hosted Carnival of the Infosciences #4. Again, I’m just trying to catch up.

Carnival of the Infosciences #3

Wanderings of a Student Librarian hosted Carnival of the Infosciences #3 last week. I missed it because I was already swamped with work and school.

A Perfect Example

The Shifted Librarian discusses The Perfect Library Blog Example. I wish more of the blogs I’m looking at were like this one. This project has become much bigger than just “how are libraries using blogs?” It’s making me ask, “What is a library?” and “Why a blog?”

Carnival of the Infosciences

Open Stacks: Carnival of the Infosciences #1 This is the very first Carnival of the Infosciences. I hope this gets off the ground. I know I need to make sure I start posting more often here– sometimes, I get so swamped by library school that I forget the big picture. Maybe I will make it my goal to write at least one post this week that I feel is worthy of submission.

Hello, World

This is a placeholder post until I get my archives uploaded. This site will eventually hold my musings about librarianship, along with most of my book reviews.

Blog People Redux

Here’s a possible explanation for why I’m finding it so bloody difficult to find a really good library blog. Thank goodness my own school likes to keep up on technology. I hope this link is still around when I get to school today so I can print it out for use in my library blogs paper.

Attack of the Blog People

I don’t have much to say about this article by the ALA President-Elect about how the “blog people” attacked his view on Google’s digitization of scholarly libraries. I do have to say, though, it’s disappointing to see an elected leader lashing out in this way– frankly, this article resembled a blog entry more than a journal article.

I found it while trolling (in the fishing sense) Librarian in Black for good collaborative community library weblogs. I’m beginning to fear my paper will be about how libraries have NOT harnessed the power of the blog for community building. Anyway, here is her commentary on Gorman’s thoughts.
