Your prescience was acute. The "pamphlet librarian" was not a librarian, it was someone who collected pamphlets. It wasn't good.

No furniture so charming
I suppose one should welcome every contribution to the debate about how to save libraries. And yet... The blurb for the No furniture so charming event, part of the London Word Festival, reads as follows: 'A night devoted to the architecture of knowledge and the future of book-borrowing. Much mor...
That's a very nice piece,and it made me smile. I too was at PNL between 78-82, but I really didn't know Edward as well as you did Tom. However he and I had some interesting email chats, and I did enjoy them very much. I would have liked to have known him better than I did - the loss is mine I'm afraid.

Edward Dudley and subversion
Like so many in the profession, I was saddened to hear that Edward Dudley had died. We will be poorer without his intellect and wit. Edward influenced me long before I met him. I went to what was then the Polytechnic of North London's School of Librarianship and Information Studies for the postg...
Yes, I agree - far too much work required. You might also want to check out the Twitter Times at http://twittertim.es/ and if you've got access to an iPad, the app that blows all of these out of the water is Flipboard at http://www.flipboard.com/

MyTweetMag

She wasn't using social media. She was playing a game. It's an entirely different issue and the 'social media' reference is simply a smokescreen. Banning the use of resources & access to social media content is akin to removing a computer from someone's desk because they're playing Microsoft Solitaire on it.

Is banning social media in the workplace the right approach?
This morning whilst I was out in the car (not driving BTW) I read a tweet from JudithELS that said: "Naughty employees - well rules are there to break, aren't they? http://tinyurl.com/28r8mvg" The link took me to a Mashable post, entitled Employees Ignore Social Media Policies, Play “FarmVill...
You might be interested in the Flickr Tagxedo group that we created. It has a small collection of images that people have created using the resource. It's also worth making the point that the chap who created Wordle has basically said that Taxedo has taken it to the next level. I simply don't use Wordle any more - it doesn't have any functionality that I can't get from Tagxedo, and Tagxedo is simply a far superior product in my view.
