You're right, technology, the media, and society are all changing rapidly and we librarians really have to not just keep up, but be leaders. It seems like learning on the job is a given for most librarians, the dark flip side is that it can be used as an excuse for not emphasizing good teaching at library schools. Just my opinion.

You're into these 2.0 technologies way more than I've had time to be, and are an inspiration to me and no doubt others. I'm honored you asked to include me as a friend here. Thanks!

Take care

A cataloger! Wow. It's good to see young folks like you getting into cataloging. Yeah, I know things have changed since I graduated from CSU Fullerton over 30 years ago but cataloging is still my favorite thing about being a librarian.
If you haven't had a chance take a look at my two OPACs from . I'm constantly trying new things to make my library more accessible, usable, user-friendly, etc.
Next year I'm going to try to have LibraryThing tags and reviews added to my collection. Could be fun.
Thanks for asking to be my friend.
Take care.

We'll see...

I can't recall the exact name of the class -- it's a long one -- but it's going to focus on Web 2.0 technology and sites like Facebook, MySpace, Flickr in respect to establishing the "social library" -- should be fun!

Take care,
~Raymond
