Show Me The Awesome
Like the logo? Or, rather, LOVE the logo? A big thanks to John LeMasney via lemasney.com for the terrific logo; and if you’re using the image with your 30 Days post, please remember to give John credit! As you’ve figured out, it is May which means that it is the start of Show Me The [...]
Review: 17 and Gone
Last week, I reviewed 17 & Gone by Nova Ren Suma (Dutton, 2013). That review was for people who, well, don’t want to know too much about a book going on. So, short version of 17 & Gone for those readers is that Lauren is seeing ghosts, including a girl who may still be alive, [...]
Pop Programming!
Remember my self promotion post from a few days back, about Pop Goes the Library: Using Pop Culture to Connect to Your Whole Community AKA the book that Sophie Brookover and I wrote? And I said how Sophie and I have contributed a couple of guest posts to our publisher’s blog, ITI Books Blog? Well, [...]
Wikipedia and Sexism

There’s another Kickstarter I want to mention, because it’s library related: Circulating Ideas, the Librarian Interview Podcast. You may remember that twice I’ve been a guest of Steve Thomas on this podcast, once in July 2012 [...]

Pop Technology!
Excuse a little blatant self promotion; yes, it’s about the book Sophie Brookover and I wrote in 2008, Pop Goes the Library: Using Pop Culture to Connect to Your Whole Community (Information Today). Sophie and I have contributed a couple of guest posts to our publisher’s blog, ITI Books Blog. The first post: Don’t Be [...]
