The Grande bibliothèque du Québec —Quebec’s bibliothèque nationale in downtown Montreal--was full of people of all ages at 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon. The elderly and the well-dressed mixed amiably with the young and the scruffy in the reading rooms at the document check-outs. It had been a long time since I’d visited—I usually use libraries which are nearer to where I live or the one at McGill—but I was looking for the English translation of Ensemble, C’est tout by Anna Gavalda for the next round of book discussions the week after next. Oddly all copies of Hunting and Gathering , as it’s called in ... Read Full Story

T wo terms that you probably cannot go without hearing these days –particularly so if you are in the library and information field - are social networking and Web 2.0 . The two terms, of course, go together, where one, i.e. social marketing , essentially explains what the other, Web 2.0 , is about.

Why I love it The children The children do make it worthwhile. I love the way they think, the enthusiasm and the way they seem to appreciate what I do for them.

"The great end of life is not knowledge but action." Thomas Henry Huxley, British biologist (1825-1895) A dvocacy has pretty much become a major buzzword within recent years. The term was, at a time, only associated with the legal profession, for after all, this is what a lawyer is; an advocate: one that speaks on behalf of, or pleads for the cause of another. But now, the term has become applicable to all such persons and activities that plead for and promote causes, whether inside or outside a courtroom, albeit mostly not with the type of compensation that bona fide lawyers can demand.

Rise Of The Web Librarian: An Elegant DMOZ Solution Imagine if Bob Keating, Editor In Chief of DMOZ, got together with the ALA, and through a joint venture invited the Dean of every graduate program in Library and Information Science to send invitations to every single graduate student in Library Science to participate in the DMOZ/ODP.
