Jessamyn posted this link, in an effort to help identify the library.  I wasn’t the first to come up with the correct answer, but it was a treat to scan several pages of Google Images containing library frescos before finding this result.

The Tech Static is, as stated on the site, “Your collection development resource for technology titles”.

They are using a blog to house reviews of technology books and resources, and are planning to publish monthly.  It looks as though they will become an excellent resource not only for collection development, but for personal selections as well.  I am looking forward to their reviews!

I wasn’t going to post this because you need an account to access the article, but the Chronicle of Higher Education has an article titled “Young Librarians, Talkin’ ‘Bout Their Generation” which is quite an interesting read.  I recommend you track it down.

What gets this posted, however, is that one of the librarians, Jessamyn West, is featured on a five-minute podcast, available to all.  It is an interesting listen, if you will.

I referred to Jessamyn West in a previous post, but this is an excellent example of why I have been reading her blog for years, and expect to do so for years to come.

I am a big fan of OCLC and much of what they do. The potential of WorldCat is incredible, and I have used it on a regular basis for many years, and will likely use it much more now that they have opened it to the general web. There is much yet to be accomplished, however, and they will hopefully find their balance between inclusion, service, and partnerships in an effective manner.

Jessamyn’s post says it wonderfully… read it, and keep on reading her (but don’t stop reading me )
