Libology Blog

Issuu (not a typo) is a new PDF web publishing service, and it is a very good service.  You can upload a document in PDF format, and Issuu presents it in a reader that is both intuitive and easy to use.

As an alternative to Google Docs or Scribd (both also excellent services) Issuu is well worth exploring.

If you are reading this, then something has gone right!  I fought with the backup for nearly a week before giving up, and have rebuilt the blog from another method entirely.  This resulted in many duplicate entries, and it really messed up the post numbering scheme - so all links into this blog are currently dead

The good news is that everything seems to be here, and it seems to be working.  The entire blog has been moved to the Libology server, and the LibrarySupportStaff.org domain has been transfered.  This means that there are two links to this blog:

http://blog.librarysupportstaff.org/ (not yet linking to the new installation)

and

http://www.libology.com/blog/

Hopefully both will work equally well.  There may be a re-design in the works as well… one step at a time.

Thank you, loyal readers, for your patience.  I hope to soon be posting some of the interesting things that I have encountered in the past 11 days!

Eight Tips for Healthy Meetings is a post by Karen, a.k.a. Free Range Librarian.

Having spent a fair amount of time in meetings both good and bad, these are excellent guidelines for increasing one’s chances for running a productive and useful meeting.  Meetings are best when they are casual, friendly and open, but structured enough to keep the group on task; this can be a balancing act for the person wielding the gavel.

Alaskan bears now have a webcam, complements of National Geographic.  It is very compelling to watch… sort of like the Discovery channel, but with the awareness that it is streaming live.
