Michael Stephens’ PLA talk on the Hyperlinked Library

Michael Stephens’ PLA talk (19:16) is now available on YouTube. It is a short but excellent overview on many of the themes he talks and writes about regarding libraries and technology. What he has to say on these topics have been some of the most influential to me during my few short years in the profession.


Turning it down

Even though I have not put up a new post in a while, this blog has not been abandoned. However, I have stepped away from it a bit in order to focus on some other jobs and projects. This section will probably be quiet for much of the rest of the summer. I plan to resume regular posting in the Fall.

In the meantime, I can still be found on Tame the Web. My recap of TEDxLibrarians is available there as is Part 1 and Part 2 of my interview with Vanessa Morris.

I also will continue to post to my Tumblr page.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy summer!


You can now find me on Tame the Web too!

I am excited to be the newest Contributor on Michael Stephens’ Tame the Web. Over the last few months I’ve had the pleasure of communicating with Michael via blogs, twitter, facebook and email. I was also lucky enough to attend his Taming Technolust Workshop in Ithaca, NY in early June.

I’ve come to know Michael as a passionate and forward-thinking educator and librarian and am honored to be given a space on his site to share my ideas and opinions with a wider audience. I have no doubt that this is going to be a fun learning experience. In addition, he has some other awesome contributors. You can check us all out at this LINK.

And here is fellow TTW Contributor, Justin, on last week’s This Week in Libraries.
