Your blog has given me pause. I hadn't considered the fact change and adaptation is part of the nature of the beast of being a librarian (which is exciting, too).

I'm definately with you on that one. Still, I can't help but feel a sense of excitement and connectedness in terms of being able to access current ideas and discussions in so many new technology forms. In fact, I just added a number of the sites from this weeks' assignment to my del.icio.us account so that I can skim them more frequently and pick-up on what's spreading out there. Add, I also found a post about how you can link your Flickr and other sites to your Facebook. Honestly, I would never have known this had I not read about it online. <BR/><BR/>P.S. I love your blog and I can't wait to also learn how to build goodies like Shelfari -- though I wonder where I'll find the time!mia mayahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03254279619500709297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554521333547990450.post-33155952629532901722008-07-08T14:43:00.000-04:002008-07-08T14:43:00.000-04:00Well put, everyone. <BR/><BR/>My job is tied to technology. Things have drastically improved over the years. We used to tell customer that it would take about a month to get a book through ILL, but now I'm seeing things get here within a week, two weeks if we have to request it again. <BR/><BR/>But technology can also be a barrier to getting the job done. One constant barrier is the speed (actually, the lack of speed) of the Internet. The slowdown's not as bad for us as it once was, but my staff and I need to rush to get the bulk of our work done by 11:00 AM. That's when response time starts to slow down. It's easy to blame the West Coast for the slowdown (11 AM our time = 8 AM on the West Coast), but I strongly suspect that there's gotta be something wrong with the infrastructure that's supposed to support the Internet. I think it's a combination of outdated equipment as Carol says and an overtaxed infrastructure.Heather C.ill-luminaria.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554521333547990450.post-34264878921481657912008-07-08T14:09:00.000-04:002008-07-08T14:09:00.000-04:00Some of these bloggers must have fulltime jobs blogging...or else be independently wealthy, or at least retired.<BR/><BR/>Of course, some library systems have a whole department just for their website, so maybe their folks have time to do lots of online stuff.<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking about Carol's post: http://cbaileyjpl.blogspot.com/2008/07/technology-at-jpl.html<BR/><BR/>MikeMikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09148645657798684705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554521333547990450.post-70650184025584455702008-07-03T13:32:00.000-04:002008-07-03T13:32:00.000-04:00I say too much to look over.<BR/><BR/>I haven't found one that is attractive enough to keep my attention.<BR/><BR/>JackieBrowninkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06579246142701338969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554521333547990450.post-76397619881485786092008-07-02T16:40:00.000-04:002008-07-02T16:40:00.000-04:00I agree that is a clever piece of artwork.

Sometimes I feel we, as a society, make changes simply to say we are using technology. For example, I love having a computer catalog and circulation system. The old cards were a pain. Self check has problems (enables theft) and now I've seen a system that checks in and sorts items straight from the bookdrop. Both of these technologies look and sound great but each comes with inherent problems that can actually add to the work load they are supposed to help reduce.<BR/>I do enjoy general technology - computers, digital cameras, etc. I just am not sure how anyone can avail themselves of all the technology out there and actually get any real work done - unless they don't have a life.Kristinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554521333547990450.post-38438598732702017782008-06-30T19:59:00.000-04:002008-06-30T19:59:00.000-04:00I agree there is certainly alot out there, i think technology has its benefits, but then again there's technology that makes people lazier than what they are.<BR/><BR/>KhalinahKhalinahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733088587735342957noreply@blogger.com
