So I was that person whose luggage went missing, before conference. Awful timing, too: they took a bunch of pictures at the Emerging Leaders meeting, where I was wearing a t-shirt (only mostly covered by a cardigan) and dirty jeans. I even made it on Librarian Wardrobe, I think as…
I had a really excellent conference! I got to meet several of my library superheroes, plus quite a few people I have no doubt will become my library superheroes as time goes on. I participated in the first session of this year’s Emerging Leaders program (which was excellent! Group G…
I have a pet project–maybe it’s the sort of project only a web librarian would find interesting: I am trying to fix the location associated with my campus’s IP addresses. … Which might not even make sense, but wait! I can explain! Go into WorldCat.org, and go into an item…
I’ve posted about it before—mostly to ask for donations—so here’s a short write-up about yesterday’s ride: My team, Geeks in Gear, raised over $1500 toward the fight against diabetes. We rode not just for the cause but in memory of our friend and teammate, Wil Curry, who was hit by…

As seen on the Chronicle of Higher Education (side note: I really like ProfHacker) and the Alaska Library Association’s Facebook page, there’s a challenge called “reverb10.” (Twitter tag: #reverb10.) Goal: write 750 words every day in December, as an exercise in reflection on the year that’s ending and in setting…
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…
