Travelin’ Troubles

Gadgets Galore
We’re in the final session. This is nice. Two women presenters, one male. Who says geeks have to be male.

Blogging the Blogosphere
There’s a whole track on blogs up in the Steinbeck room. First up was Jenny Levine, aka The Shifted Librarian. Her plea was that librarians consider local blogs as an additional news outlet and inform them of upcoming events at the library so they can be posted to the blogs. Great way to bring in [...]
