- Name of Your Library:
- Sandusky Library
- About Me:
- I have been the Reference and Museum Services Administrator at the Sandusky Library in Sandusky Ohio since 2001. I was the head of the Cody Branch of the Flint Public Library from 92-01. I spend a lot of time at the reference desk and since our public computers are nearby much of that time is spent helping patrons with their computer issues. My hobbies include playing guitar, drawing, online poker, reading and exercise.

- What is Your Interest in Library 2.0 (not yes or no)
- I am interested in Library 2.0 from the perspective of a reference librarian. Are any of the 2.0 tools useful for answering reference inquiries? I find Wikipedia to be invaluable but that's about the only 2.0 tool I use at the desk. As a professional I find delicious, blogines and digg, helpful in keeping me informed and up-to-date. For my personal entertainment I enjoy Youtube and flickr. I listen to several news and political podcast a week on my ipod. I also really love my Mac Powerbook G4 .

I finally buckled down and completed the 23 Things on CSLA's Web 2.0 tutorial. Now I'm conversant if not a convert. I am just old school enough that I see some of these apps as interesting and amazing, but huge time wasters......I love delicious, ...
Last night I saw a great program at the Arlington Heights Memorial Library about the James Bonds films. It was hosted by Raymond Benson, who has written 9 James Bond books, and Dann Gire, the film critic from the Daily Herald newspaper.

Yeah, McCloud’s books are great, especially his first one and his most recent one.
Create Your own Graphic Novel Using Digital Techniques by Mike Chinn and Chris McLoughlin is also a good book for anyone who wants to understand what it takes to create comics, and like McCloud’s books it’s visual approach is very appropriate to the topic.
I’d also suggest you check out these recent books if you haven’t already.
Reading Comics: How Graphic Novels Work and What They Mean by Douglas Wolk
Unpopular Culture: Transforming the European Comic Book in the 1990s by Bart Beaty
The System of Comics by Thierry Groensteen, Bart Beaty, and Nick Nguyen
The Wolk book is very good, the Beaty book is excellent so far (and check out the archive of his Euro-comics columns at http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/briefings/euro_archives/ while you’re at it), and the System of Comics has been interesting so far but is quite academically dense.
Let me know what you think if you read any of them. And thanks for the invitation!
