Wordle always gets to the bottom of things, huh? The question was:

Computers and Libraries 2009
I made some posts about the Computers and Libraries 2009 conference over at the PLA Blog. They're tagged CIL2009.
The overall theme seemed to be engagement. Lots of good stuff. I wish our library had sent more people, but these times are tough, eh?

waiting for the lamb
March marked two big changes: I moved back to Brooklyn after two years in Queens and started a new position at my library. It's temporary position that should last through the end of the calendar year. I have a new title -- Functional Design Manager -- and a job description:
That's me, Hood and Hat, bringing the elegance. I'm psyched about the opportunity and excited about helping to bring about change at my'brary, but there's a loop that keeps replaying in my head, telling me that I'm no longer a librarian. I miss the day-to-day interaction with customers and my co-workers, as well as the handling books, but I'm starting to get used to sitting at a desk all day. I've been listening to woxy.com and no one can hear me sing along or see me bop in my chair.
The position is responsible for investigating and recommending 'next level' system behaviors to provide the most elegant customer experience. Responsible for providing consultant services for features, user interface, and functional specifications.

ALA Emerging Leaders, 2009
I had no idea you could squish so many people into a photo. My group (L) is studying the recruitment of millennial generation into library-related professional organizations.

plogging in the am
I'm posting about my midwinter experiences over at the PLA Blog. Well, let me rephrase that: so far I have made one post about the
Emerging Leaders program over at the PLA Blog.
Also, due to the two-hour time difference I found myself awake at 5am. Since I have three roommates, I made my way to a Starbucks on 16th Street so I could access the free wi-fi because jerky Marriott charges $12.95 per day per person for Internet access.
I don't have another meeting until 10am. Perhaps it's time for a dip in the hotel pool?
