Pecha Kucha @ IL08

Our Pecha Kucha star at Computers in Libraries 2008, Greg Schwartz is the moderator for the our pecha kucha at Internet Librarian 2008 next month in Monterey CA. Listen to Greg’s talk about podcasting here. For tips on doing your own pecha kucha (where each speaker has 6 min and 40 seconds and up to 20 slides to make their points) check this out. The CIL audience loved the pecha kucha relating to social media and the upcoming IL one will focus on planning topics. Rebecca Jones, my business

a bit hollow

Crumb Library is a very strange place today. My office looks very little like my office — no little plastic dragons by the phone, no plants on my filing cabinet, no overstuffed binders behind my laptop, no intimidating piles of paper on my desk — as I pack up to move out for the summer. The second floor looks so bare, without students swarming over all the group study tables, the beanbag chairs sitting in corners, looking droopy and forlorn without a student plopped into them, and no laptop po

Does My Reputation Precede Me?

At our Kansas Library Association conference presentation, an attendee asked a very good question: with all of this social networking on the internet, where the personal and the professional often blurs, what happens if a potential employer does an internet search on you and finds things that could be taken badly out of context or just outright makes them not want to hire you? This has actually happened, hasn’t it? A potential employer finds your Facebook or MySpace page, or old blog posts, or

Pecha Kucha, the Video

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:47 GMT

As I suggested in an earlier post from last week, the Pecha Kucha session at Computers in Libraries was videotaped by Michael Sauers. That video is now available at blip.tv. But let’s try to embed it here: It’s almost an hour long, but well worth your time. As far as my presentation is concerned, which is second of the six, the video recording solves the two primary problems of the screencast: the low volume of the embedded audio clips and the lack of audience response. So even if you watch

Even the Links are Bigger in Texas!

I’m on my way to the Texas Library Association annual conference, where I will square off in the ring with the likes of Stephen Abram, Roy Tennant, and Joe Janes for a “Great Debate.” Good luck guys, I plan to mop the floor with you! So as I mosey westward, here are some links for your delectation (including one shameless plug): Treat your ears to this delightful batch of music to accompany National Library Week, from Miki, a librarian and digital DJ.

Pecha Kucha (P’cha K’cha, Hootchie Cootchie, or Pikachu) was, hands down, the best presentation the whole CIL. The presenters were amazing and the format is fantastic. Pecha Kucha is a great way to keep people interested, engaged, ...

CIL2008: the ‘lights

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:46 GMT

Here’s the short version of my Computers in Libraries experience for this year. For the details, check out this post. YAY! The people! I met so many people this year. Completely new people, people i only ever “met” online, and the “famous” people who’s names we all know. I felt like we were Velcro this year- lunch with 1 or 2 others always turned into “and hey, there’s [insert name here], lets invite them!” I love it! Pecha Kucha!
