Web 2.0 Expo New York - Sept. 16-19, 2008

Started Aug 15

What's problematical about these networks like ning, myspace, facebook et al is the sluggish response times even with the fastest of computer connections.

I'm currently in the midst of preparing to teach the second phase of a Leadership program for a library in Florida. It has been a lot of fun to work with colleagues to develop leadership skills. They are a great group. Sure miss my friends at NYPL.

At 11:01pm on July 7th, 2007, Julie Sayles said…: Bob, because of your comments, I plan on adding these two comments to the survey. Because this is a partial pretest, I will be continually revising the survey. Of course, this doesn't make it valid, but I appreciate everyone's help in being involved in the learning process!

Thanks for joining the Library Leadership discussion group. Your clarity, compassion, and keen insight will be welcome there. I look forward to your participation.

So, why the pre-1940 cut-off for pop music?
