This is a shot of Ray at Happy Hour. I uploaded this from my Treo, which has horrible resolution. You know how you sometimes miss a feature of an older technology? I just upgraded laptops, and tonight dearly missed the SD slot on my older Dell. Dang, that was a [...]

Several of us attended at least part of the OCLC Symposium. This blurry picture from Karen’s Treo is of a large screen that said “Library 2.0.” Perhaps we’ll get a LITA write-up, but Shifted Librarian already has a really good discussion of this symposium.
