Life in the Library-wikis
Wow, this is huge! I am still trying to convince myself to make a website out of one of these. It has been done, but it require some committment on my part. Some of the ones I saw were huge websites and very well done. I know nothing about creating one, but I'm wondering if I could ask the high school computer class to work on this Hmmmm! I'll have to play with that idea for a while in my head before I decide.

Life in the Library
Super cold here the last couple of days. The high yesterday as -3 degrees. Even now, as I'm typing I'm doing it with my gloves on at the library. The furnace has a problem and can't get up to temperature. The fyrnace repairman has been called, but hasn't been here yet. In fact when I first came in it was 47 degrees in here. Now it is a balmy 52.
The with cold and the snow, 10 inches Friday, 2 more Saturday, I was house-bound the last 3 days, no way was I staying home today. I'm nearly ready to kill, yes in a painful manner, my husband of 20 years. So it's time to go to work. No matter what I have to endure when I get there.

Life in the Library 2.0
I really like some of these ideas. I have no training in Library Science. My degree is in Education, but I have always been a library lover/user. My perspective is probably a little different than someone who studied librarianship. I like what Michael Stephens had to say. His ideas are to the point, very commonsense. His wiring is down to earth and easy to understand. I copied and pasted his main ideas here.
1.Harness the library user in both design and implementation of services
2.Library users should be able to craft and modify library provided services
3.Harvest and integrate ideas and products from peripheral fields into library service models
4.Continue to examine and improve services and be willing to replace them at any time with newer and better service. I wish I could have persuaded a couple of board members to take this class. There is still at least one who only reluctantly accepts computers. These ideas would blow her away.
