I am a candidate for SLA’s Board of Directors

Monday, July 28th, 2008

I dislike talking about myself on the scratchpad. I don’t want to discuss politics here. I don’t want to use this blog as a campaign tool. But I’d be silly if I don’t mention that I’m running for one of two Director positions on the Special Libraries Association Board of Directors. Learn more

“I’ve been wandering sideways
I’ve stared straight into the sun
Still I don’t know why you’re dying
Long before your time has come
Your time has come”

Since I was on the panel for the Special Libraries Association Annual Conference session this morning about alternate careers for librarians, I didn’t get a chance to take live notes. Honestly, I’m a little brain dead right now and tired of typing, so I’m going to be brief.
The main theme of the careers of the [...]

“Be remarkable,” advises Seth Godin at SLA

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I would have blogged Seth Godin’s talk at the Special Libraries Association Annual Conference live, like I’ve been doing with a lot of conference sessions, but Harvard’s blog server was down at the time.
Seth opened by explaining that things won’t succeed if people don’t get the message. “When everyone can set type type gets [...]

Blogger Gathering at Wild Ginger in Seattle, um, Now

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I was going to try to make the blogger gathering at Wild Ginger in Seattle this evening, but I don’t think I should try to do that with the News Division banquet starting at 6 p. The two are far enough apart that the timing just won’t work out for me to do both, especially [...]

Twitter is over capacity again.

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

It must be all the librarians at the Special Libraries Association Annual Conference trying to figure out what everyone is doing for dinner.
Microblog on Babbledog instead!

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

William Jones, who is one of the fellows behind the project Keeping Found Things Found, is giving an overview of the project and personal information management at the Special Libraries Association Annual Conference. I remembered writing about the work before and was suprised that it was back in December 2003.
One piece of irony is immediately [...]
