New wiki

I'm serving on the local arrangements committee for the IASL conference to be held next summer at UC Berkeley. The committee met last Saturday and decided a great use of Web 2.0 technology would be to set up a wiki where we could share our ongoing planning. I set one up on PBwiki, which I find pretty easy to use and have used before. Now it's up to the members of the planning group to go ahead and take advantage of the power of the wiki to share our planning tasks. If you'd like to get involved contact me.

New Blog

I haven't posted here in a while because I've been working on my library news blog, the Bessie Chin Library Leaves. I've been adding postings to that blog from my hotel room in Taipei, Taiwan. I also have a web album going with many pictures taken while in Taiwan. One technical detail I needed to find a solution for was that at first when I brought my blog up the links, tabs, etc. used for editing the blog were all in Chinese. I had to remember (or use trial and error!) to discover what each link lead to. Eventually I was able to ask one of the student volunteers which link to use to change the language back to English. Once I found that and changed it the going has been much simpler.
Please check out my new blog. I plan on using it to disseminate information about the Bessie Chin Library to the school community ... and the entire world!
