I am going to make a whole slew of posts about #ALA11 between now and the end of next week; I have to do a report for work, anyway, and I find myself full of ideas and plans–as one should be after a conference. It will all take some time…
Here’s an overview of where I think I’ll be over the course of ALA week. I usually end up skipping out on a few of the sessions I plan to attend, because I overschedule and get burned out. But there’s a lot of good stuff this year (most of it…
I’ll be talking at the Alaska Library Association Annual Conference about social media. It’s the night before my talk, and I’m still trying to figure out what the most important things to talk about are–I am really only planning to talk for 45 minutes or so, to leave the second…
I know I e-signed the pledge to blog every day for reverb10, but I don’t actually want to try the patience of my (I suspect fairly few, after multiple digital moves last year) readers by writing poorly thought out posts for no better reason than “I said I’d blog.” You…
Social Media I won’t post my library’s Social Media Plan here, but if you email me (coral at uaa dot alaska dot edu), or comment with your email, I’ll get it to you. It discusses our implementation plan, some best practices, assessment, and marketing. You can also Google for other…
The program for the talk next week appears to have changed. In further discussion with the organizer, it seems like someone else gets to do the “Hey, look at all this neat stuff!” talk. My talk will be much more along the lines of “Look at what we’re doing at…

I’ve changed my summer course schedule twice, now. On the bright side, all of this fiddling has left me with courses I’m excited to be taking! INFSCI 2955: Special Topics: Systems – “Web Engineering†(Monday nights) LIS 2850: Library’s Role in Teaching and Learning, aka Library Instruction (Four weekends, Friday…
It’s time, folks. I haven’t run this by Dale, yet, but I’m proposing that brewing should happen on March 7. I won’t have any homework due that week, since it’s spring break, and I don’t work that Saturday (I do work that Sunday night, though, bleh). Anyone want to come…
My first class of the spring semester happens today. It is not 12pm-3pm, as I had mistakenly remembered, but 3pm-6pm. (So, in order to leave myself one weekday for doing homework, I think I may move my internship hours from Tuesdays to Mondays.) I have a cold and am considering…
