De bus rijdt weer
Een tijdje geleden merkte ik dat ik de 'dingen' even moest laten voor wat ze zijn. Maar nu ik de dingen weer oppak, merk ik dat ik inmiddels met veel dingen achterloop op mijn collega's en dat ik sommige dingen ook dringend moet oppakken, omdat ik anders de dinges...boot mis.Collega's om mij heen googlen naarstig met docs en gebruiken een wiki om kennis met elkaar te delen. Ook de omvang en kwaliteit van je linked-in netwerk is niet onbelangrijk meer en wil ik straks nog met iemand 'poken', dan moet ik als de wiedeweerga aan de slag met mijn dingen. Vandaag heb ik eerst maar weer eens gespeeld met een foto. De Hooibergband treed weer eens op en dat leek me wel een busslogan waard. Maar met de bus kom je er niet, die stopt daar allang niet meer.
Gegroet de enkeling die dit leest!

Ding 8 is echt wel een beetje mijn ding
Eindelijk weer een ding, en een leuk ding! De hooibergband op deze cover is wel echt, de cover niet. Helaas voor de band. Leuk om te doen zo'n cover maken, maar ik zou wel wat meer mogelijkheden willen hebben, bijvoorbeeld het lettertype per regel kunnen varieren. Misschien kan dat ook wel, maar moet ik nog even doorgaan met ontdekken. En anders kan het wellicht met de andere programma's. Het lijkt me ook aardig om er andere kleinere foto's en plaatjes bij in te voegen. Nou ja, ik stoei nog wel een keer verder.
Ik zou niet 1,2,3, kunnen bedenken wat het nut is voor ons netwerk, maar ik heb me er absoluut mee vermaakt!

PAR-TIC-I-PA-TION, or 37 pieces of Library Flair!
Short version: If I'm willing to participate in an organization that is still largely "1.0" and populated with traditional librarians, why can't traditional librarians* put aside their fears and perfectionism and choose to participate in social software/web 2.0 activities in their libraries?
Long version:
I am a "next generation" librarian, librarian 2.0 (1.5!), "young librarian," whatever you want to call me, and I recently made the choice to get involved in ALA. I am currently attending the annual conference and having to make hard choices about what programming to attend and what to research later. Rather than continuing to believe that it's hard to get involved, I chose to show up and agitate--ask people how to get onto committees, talk to those around me who are already involved in the organization, not be shy about talking to presenters, giving out my card, the whole nine yards. As a closet introvert, this is kind of hard for me.So, if I'm willing to get over myself and get out there and (sssh, don't tell anyone) try to transform the organization from the inside, what is holding traditional librarians* back from participating in the new web, which could transform every library in the world (for FREE, I might add)? The questions that were asked at the end of the "Reinventing Reference" pre-conference session were very revealing; it was as if people *heard* what was said but didn't *listen* to what it meant for them, their libraries and their library users.*I use the phrase "traditional librarians" because I have no other label, and I don't mean to disparage librarians of long experience, advocates of books (*I* am an advocate of books), meticulous folks, those who are intimidated by technology, or anyone else.
