Profile Information
- Name of Your Library:
- retired from Whatcom County Library System
- About Me:
- A retired librarian from the System, having worked the reference desk in Lynden WA, with lead responsibility for implementing IM access and monitoring developments in Library 2.0. My MLS is from Indiana University - '72 - and prepared me well for utilizing technology in libraries.
A conference that has kept this preparation alive this year (as it has in past years) was the 2008 Online Northwest in Corvallis OR. If you get a chance to go next year, do it!
We did implement IM last fall (2007) with Shine Live Help from iRadeon Group, Inc. As we discovered over 15 years ago when we implemented email access to our Reference Services, IM has not impacted us even minimally. We count IM as email interactions; email accounts for 2% of our Reference Service use, and IM accounts for less than 9% of our email use.
I blogged my responses to the 2008 Online Northwest in my librarianjames blog at wordpress.
Now, to do some photography, writing, and other things which seem to overwhelm the time of my already-retired-buddies.

Thanks for joining the shop steward group. Do you have much experience with unions?
It's a pleasure to join your circle of friends, thanks for the invitation. Nice cat, he looks very sweet, I have 4 cats myself.
My tech background is from the user end only although I have used and enjoyed Question Point aka AskNow. At the time I was involved with that end of reference we could not IM for the reasons you explain. I don't think it has been worked out yet.
Thank you for the invitation.
So your cat's a tuxedo, is it? My cat is also black and white, but around here we call call them Holsteins. Y'all.
She's my first cat, and she's almost two years old. Please tell me that she's going to grow out of the squirrely stage she's been in for the past two years. They do mellow out, right? Oreo looks pretty calm. He's got that inscrutable zen look about him.
Boy, the similarity between your cat and that picture is pretty amazing - maybe your cat is moonlighting as a model...
I see you're at Whatcom - I got my BA from WWU back in 97, and it's definitely a place i would go back to for a long-term stretch, if the opportunity ever arose.
Plus! I was also at Online Northwest this year, and loved every session i went to. Thanks for taking a look at my blog, too!
