The new Librarian


Must turn away from the silent world of twin sets and pearls and embrace the noisy world of global information exchange. Open mind lateral thinking no judgements. Surf.

Podcasting


I have listened to a podcast about Michelangelo's smelly feet and one introducing a free!! course in French. Useful.

Moveable type


I looked at WorldEBook Fair and thought of joining the World Book Library and checked the Project Gutenberg Liberary Archive. Perhaps I will donate.

Library thing


took a tour. This could be an interesting site for a book collector wanting to catalogue his own collection, would help with net working and finding people with similar interests in collecting and finding specialist books.

Inspiring architecture




This came from flickr. Saw some excellent architectural pics.

Library Conference Adelaide. Networking in 1926


Went into Google Reader and added some useful RSS feeds eg art/architecture.
Will help to stay in touch with the world of architecture and librarianship.

slv wiki on shipping


This is a very good idea we get a huge number of enquiries about shipping. Our collection should be made more accessible. Travellers need to be aware of risks.
