Name of Your Library:

Thunder Bay Public Library

About Me:

My official title is "Head of Virtual Library Services". This is a one-year-old position here at TBPL, so along with figuring out what the heck I'm susposed to be doing, I've had the additional challenge of carving out a niche within the organization and working hard to make sure other peeps know what I'm doing. I'm "in charge" of the opac (III) and website, and accompanying virtual services like online program registration. It's FUN...especially the 2.0 networking *stuff*! On a personal note I play hockey and the flute (not at the same time), am married to a mechanic, drive a '92 Chevy that runs great, and have an amazing little boy.

What is Your Interest in Library 2.0 (not yes or no)

I'm interested in the future of libs...how we can make our fabbo resources *easy* for people to find and use...and how we can weave web 2.0 *stuff* in to our traditional websites. In the past year I've been playing with del.icio.us, flickr and blogger.

Sorry about accusing you of being a Californian! I was asleep at the wheel.

As for the Griffith thing, in my library system we have one male Griffith, one female Griffith, and one female Griffiths - and none of us are related. We are well over our Griffith quota!

From what I hear, my paternal grandfather's side of the family was thrown out of Ireland. No Welsh heritage to claim for me.

Thanks for joining the Creative Librarians discussion group.

So, is there a law in California about playing the flute and hockey at the same time, or is just a motor skill issue?

At 11:54pm on June 8, 2007, Lisa Nash said…: Hi Joanna, thanks for the add. I'm in the process of transition with my job from a more traditional library to a role in creating learning objects for teaching and learning. The role is not fully defined yet and I want to fully realise the potential of many of the Web 2 tools in helping to promote the e-resources we currently hold and for any future projects . Like you I'm enjoying these developments but sometimes get frustrated because the reality hasn't caught up with the vision in our organisation. So in practical terms I often have to experiment with new digital technologies outside of work. Hopefully that will change with the transition to the new position of Resource developer. I'll be interested to keep up with what you are doing in your role. Cheers, Lisa

The Computers in Libraries article about our online library card registration and e-Card service is available from the InfoToday Web site. Here's the link to the article:

Do you get Computers in Libraries magazines? That's where the article will be. I'll be looking on the InfoToday Web site to see if they include a live link to the article as soon as it is published. Of course I can send you more info about it. I've got some info up on the Library Success Wiki.

I am not sure if there is just one name, but the one I like the best is "crackberry"
