Social Web connects long lost library school nerds almost immediately!

OK, so I was posting a comment to the gaminginlibraries blog which is just getting off the ground.But anyway, Jenny Levine, aka "The Shifted Librarian" helped tremendously in setting it up and appears to be very active as an enthusiastic librarian and technology facilitator. While perusing her photos from flickr.com, I found a buddy link of hers to Mike Porter my old friend from Library school. He has this really extensive blog and almost 1000 photos on flickr as well. visit it! libraryman.com I tell ya, one week after listening to the burks on learning podcast, and I am shifting into high gear with "Web 2.0" social web, interactive and inter acTING Web services, however you like to slice it. I have Helen Georgas to thank for it all. She is our instructional coordinator and she's forging ahead to bring us into the 21st century with Web-based instructional tutorials using camtasia or ... oh what is that other one called... shuffle shuffle.. . We here in the academic world move at a slower pace, but rest assured, there are dedicated librarians chomping at the bit to bring information services to the Internet far beyond email ref. Wish us luck!
