Whom do you follow?
Do you tweet? Do you want to tweet? Or, would you prefer to just follow? Twitter is a great way to keep up with industry developments, find resources, and pick up a tip or two from colleagues. I like the immediacy of it. Here are some suggestions for those in the info industry world: @mashabl...
Sorry for the late reply. You must log into the conference registration site (link as above, or here: https://www.slaconference.org/portal/myPortal.ww), and the presentations that we received from speakers are linked under the PDF icon next to the session name. Check directly with the division or the speaker if what you are looking for is not posted.

People still use instant messaging, right? Check out Meebo, which is IM central for all your accounts. Seesmic is a web-based alternative to TweetDeck (desktop and iPhone versions also available) that allows you to view both Twitter feeds and Facebook updates in one place...kind of a like a comm...
How can anyone pass up a title like that?

What's on your bookshelf?
More specifically, what are you reading? In summer (at least it's summer in my part of the globe), we all seem to have more down time to explore our personal interests, but we can also use that time to catch up on professional reading. Besides info industry magazines and journals (have you rea...
Steph, that is quite a list! I love Ellyssa Kroski's iLibrarian blog: http://oedb.org/blogs/ilibrarian

Hi Judy, murder mysteries scream "SUMMER READING," don't they? X and Y...very important now. A different mindset, different expectations in the workplace and from the membership.

FHG, I like "good fast reads"!! Well, if it's about Twitter it'd have to be fast. :-) Yes, and mobile devices are creeping into our services. Thanks for the tip about Megan Fox.

Okay, and does anyone know if it's "Wolf-ram" or "Wolf-rum"??

A new tool has entered the search arena, and you've probably heard of it by now. Wolfram|Alpha, a "computational knowledge engine," aims to bring you more data, the more hidden of what's out in the universe. As I attempted a test run, I received the message the "current maximum load" had been r...
Thank you! This is very helpful.

I agree...lots of potential here. It would be exciting to have a strong search tool that did one better than Google. Yes, let's hear from readers what they think and how they will use it!

Copyright and Wrongs, a debate at the Economist Web site. So very interesting. Add your thoughts. I missed this February report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project on Twitter. "Eleven percent of online American adults said they used a service like Twitter...." Have you seen Let Me G...
It'll be very interesting to see how this all plays out.

UK Plan to Monitor all Internet Use
The United Kingdom (UK) Home Office is asking UK communication service providers (CSPs) to extend the range of information they currently hold on their subscribers for use by the police, MI5 and other public bodies investigating crime and terrorism. CSPs are being asked to record internet contac...
From what I read about the methodology for the ratings, that sounds exactly like what happens! The ratings are based on responses from program administrators...no responses, no ratings. It's self-fulfilling. If *you* don't fill out a Who's Who profile, you won't get in most likely.
I think these days it's much easier to find information, candid information, about programs. The schools (many? most?) are out there in 2.0 land, and students' thoughts are also out there and more findable. It all helps you form an opinion about a program and if it's right for you.

U.S. News & World Report has released its ratings of various graduate school programs, including schools of library and information studies (that's us!). Unless you're a premium online edition subscriber (or buy access to the ratings), the information on the site is not too detailed, but a perus...
