Monday, February 12th, 2007Star Wars 30th Annivserary Kit for Librarians
Thursday, February 8th, 2007
Okay, it’s shameless marketing but can you imagine Stormtroopers directing traffic to your storytime? Random House has created an event tie-in kit for Star Wars’ 30th Anniversary for libraries and booksellers complete with Star Wars characters and authors. It’s worth it for the pins alone.
LibraryXO.org Live!
Thursday, February 8th, 2007
I must have too much time on my hands. I created LibraryXO.org where users can post stories about the library-world and vote for their favorite stories. The idea is similar (okay, identical) to Digg but it’s only for library news, book reviews, and other fun stuff pertaining to libraries, librarians, and people who are just generally turned on by libraries.
Feel free to submit stories, vote, create a profile, interact with other LibraryXO users, comment, and make suggestions on how to make the site better. It’s a work in process and sure to change in layout, design and content as users begin to make it their own.
I’ll probably have an official launch in a couple of weeks… any excuse for a party.
Technical details: Pligg engine using MySQL, PHP, & CSS etc., hosted on LaughingSquid.net.

Monday, February 5th, 2007Here are the photos from my roadtrip to the desert. We did a lot of exploring of abandoned mines and ghost towns in Death Valley and Arizona.

It’s official!
Sunday, February 4th, 2007I just got back from my roadtrip to Vegas, Arizona, and Death Valley and I checked the SJSU records to see if there was any change to my degree status…
Congratulations! Your master’s degree has been officially posted on our records for the term listed above. Your diploma will be mailed to you shortly
I have my MLIS. Yippee! I don’t have the diploma yet. As long as there isn’t a clerical error or a major typo, I think I’m finished.
My ePortfolio was well recieved even though I think I did way more than necessary. What’s next? I already have a great job as a librarian, so I’m looking at an MPA, finishing a screenplay, or maybe training for a marathon.
