I'm not going to comment on the post - check the rest of this blog over the past few years & you might come to the conclusion that he's just saying something a wee bit more openly & succinctly than I've been willing to do here.
Just read it. Vote for it. Make a senescent librarian happy for Christmas.
But remember, a librarian isn't just for Christmas, but for life...

And whilst we're on about the Edublog Awards here's a list of the nominated library sites:
- Hey Jude
- Librarians Matter
- A Library By Any Other Name
- Spineless (from our friends at the Internet Resources Newsletter)
- Techno Tuesday
HI--I tried to find out if you are a librarian too, but your blog doesn't indicate this, though the post leads me to believe you are. AM I missing your profile somewhere on the page? I love Karl's post too, and have referenced it myself before. Great post.
Another question: Why are only those with google accounts allowed to comment? Glad i still have my google account, though I don't use it for any professional reasons anymore. I blog overe at http://technotuesday.edublogs.org

5:52 pmHi Cathy (in case you come back)
Sorry about the clandestine nature of the blog; it was originally born out of the frustration of not convincing out ICT people that a local Wordpress install might be a good idea. (I still think so). So I went beyond the firewall but had to present the blog in such a way that anything vaguely controversial (anti-teacher, anti-techie, ant-anything-else) would be perceived as the rantings of a maverick librarian that did not cast the college in a bad light.
Librarian as accused and sometimes I am one when I'm not a web-designer (he wishes!) & the many other things that librarians have to be these days.
As for comments, as Dylan said, Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm getting soft.
I'll change the settings.
