Does anyone use a print dictionary anymore?

robinna/ August 9, 2008/ Libraries, question of the day, life 2.0+/ 0 comments

When I started in my current gig, I inherited a bunch of print materials — old technical manuals, old procedures manuals, old everything (I had 3 different editions of the LC Authority User Manual!), dictionaries, printer manuals, workshop/training manuals, and more. This accumulation occurred naturally, and as staff decided they no longer needed print resources given that a more recent

Which domains do you need? Web Worker Daily answers this timely question. I just had a conversation with a colleague at lunch yesterday about digital identity and developing a digital presence. One step in developing a digital identity is to figure out what your website moniker should be, which then of course can be used for email, too. I’ve been

So, I’m in the middle of a twebinar called Game Changing Moves: Who Really Owns Your Brand?Anyhow, so it’s a webinar with a twitter element thrown in and I am taking a break.

Apparently today is copyright day… Given that I use RSS feeds to pull my content into other sites (facebook, my portfolio, etc.), I sometimes get caught up in the ease of use and forget that RSS is a really a form of syndication.

Well, if you haven’t heard all of the chatter and buzz, Google Librarian Central hadn’t been updated in a year (before today, that is)…and Google wasn’t at ALA leaving some librarians to call out google for punking librarians or even using librarians, while other librarians proclaimed, we weren’t surprised!

..and finally.. the rest of the story

robinna/ June 5, 2008/ life 2.0+/ 0 comments

I even tried reverting to an older version of the search code + template, but that didn’t work, either, which really doesn’t make
