And I'm the first to say that libraries wouldn't be what they are today without computers, databases, and such. But I wonder how much the Web 2.0 effort is advancing librarianship.<br /><br />As I learn the 2.0 tools, I'm having trouble relating them to the work I do. In my former life as a ref librarian, much of this would've been useful--if only to be able to understand students when they asked questions about this stuff. But for the rest of us--circ, technical services, administration--I wonder whether Web 2.0 is causing us to re-engineer what we do just for the sake of doing it.<br /><br />It all comes down to who's doing the driving: the technology or the task.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6485833708678239969-5622678946351232579?l=mk-johngalt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284936158703849408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485833708678239969.post-55311900782484828402007-10-10T06:36:00.000-07:002007-10-10T06:42:35.094-07:00Now that I've been infected with the ability to create trading cards (courtesy of the FC Toys' Trading Card Maker), my friends and family are newly awash in cat cuteness. Never tell a person with three cats that she/he can find yet another way to display them. Bad idea.<br /><br />Anyway, it's comforting to know that somehow, someday, my cats' cuteness might just bring down a server somewhere.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6485833708678239969-5531190078248482840?l=mk-johngalt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284936158703849408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485833708678239969.post-38793023969280851252007-08-30T08:17:00.000-07:002007-08-30T08:20:07.777-07:00<span style="font-family:arial;"><em>Cue the koto music.....</em></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">MySpace, Flickr, Blogs!</span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Duly challenged, I languish<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">At Web 1.5</span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6485833708678239969-3879302396928085125?l=mk-johngalt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284936158703849408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485833708678239969.post-87026174091236529582007-08-27T13:26:00.000-07:002007-08-27T13:27:28.648-07:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Of the 7.5 habits, “play” is both the easiest and the hardest one for me. (It’s also the only I remember from presentation!) Still, what I mean is that, sure, playing is easy. But it can also be scary and risky; making mistakes and failing is hard. Especially when you’re—well, when you’re an adult.<br /><br />Enough talk.
