I am in my fourth official week here as the Technology Coordinator for the Greater Midwest Region of the NN/LM.
Here is what I’m enjoying so far about Chicago:

Lilacs - there are lilacs everywhere it seems and as I recall they don’t grow very well in the South so it’s bringing back memories of my glorious [...]

I’m settling into my new job responsibilities at NN/LM GMR (which is located at the University of Illinois at Chicago.) I even got a paycheck yesterday and I just started. They must REALLY like me. I moved to the fair city of Chicago in early May and so far am enjoying it [...]

I am in Florida at the moment.  I am speaking at the Florida Library Association Annual Meeting…this morning spoke on technological change and trying to get buy-in.  I was pleasantly surprised by the reception and my performance.  It was great to see some familiar faces in the crowd like Cheryl Wolfe, Stephanie Race and Karen [...]

There is a town called Monowi, Nebraska and it has been the subject of various news [...]

My good friend Bryan is moving to Andros Island, the Bahamas tomorrow. He just finished a media librarian degree at GSU and got a job in a library on an island! It sounds like a really awesome opportunity and a situation where he will learn so much I think. I will really miss [...]

Last week I taught a Web 2.0 class in Frankfort, KY. I love that part of the state, it’s so beautiful. This time instead of teaching at KDLA, I taught at the Paul Sawyier Public Library. This library is right downtown, sort of near the Capitol on a meandering river. [...]

Jeez. Like we don’t have more important things to worry about. “Weekly’s Use of ‘F’ Word Irks Missouri Patron” I wonder what he would think about some of these titles found on WorldCat.org:
