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:

Fuck Fuck Fuck
Fuck
Fuck Hollywood

Just three examples of over 1,800 results I retrieved when I typed in the “f” word.

This is not a big surprise to me, but at the same time - it’s ironic. Many library buildings are closing or are losing funding but then others have major construction plans. Maybe it’s just a shift in library services is what is happening. Whatever the case, Librarian made it on the [...]

My flight was supposed to leave at 2:19 pm today and it finally left (the tarmac) at 6:45 pm. I’m in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to teach the last two of the Rural Library Sustainability Workshops here and then another in Alexandria on Wednesday. It’s weird to think that I have been working on [...]

I flew down to Tampa on Thursday to teach a class - “Marketing Your Virtual Library” for a group of awesome librarians at the Ocala Public Library (for NEFLIN). This library used to be a grocery store - much like the library I was in, in Ruston, Louisiana in April. I spoke to [...]

But they did spell my name wrong in the TOC. I wrote in my former blog that an article I wrote with a co-worker was to be published by the Journal of Access Services. Well, I don’t think that ever happened (in fact I am not sure they even have an issue out [...]

No I’m not a Runner and no I’m not going escaping elimination, but I am heading home to the US finally tomorrow. I am back in Melbourne staying here and about to go exploring to see what I missed when I was here before.
In the past week:

I have flown from Brisbane to Christchurch
taught a [...]

Ok so no jokes about the name of the state I am in (and by that I mean one of the states of Australia.) I arrived in Brisbane on Tuesday evening after teaching two days in Sydney. So Sydney was unfortunately very short, but I hope to go back someday. Brisbane is [...]

My time in Melbourne is winding down shortly. I spent some time Wednesday and Thursday this week at the State Library of Victoria doing some work and catching up on emails etc. I even got my Library Card! (Ok, I’m a total library geek.) I spent a lot of time in the [...]

I am still in Melbourne at the moment, and working this week. I’m teaching at a fantastic training facility in the CBD (Central Business District) in Melbourne. I’m meeting up with some librarians from Yarra Plenty Regional Library on Thursday to talk about blogging etc. in their libraries, and then head to Sydney [...]
