Something else I found while looking at the past posts on Andy’s website: What Democrats will Do In Their First 100 Hours in Congress. To paraphrase, they say they would: · Put new rules in place to "break the link between lobbyists and legislation."· Enact all the recommendations made by the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of…
I haven’t been around much the past few days. There are a few reasons for that. We’re starting to bind journals again for the first time in months. I’ve taken over a number of knowledge management duties for the library that are forcing all of the librarians here to rethink their work flow models. I’m…
First, wish MEDLINE a happy 35th birthday. Now for some political resources, lifted in part from Resourceshelf.org (where would any of us be without these guys?): Resources of the Week: Election 2006By Shirl Kennedy, Senior Editor"An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for theblood; a mud bath for every soul…
After publishing yesterday’s post about tattooed/pierced librarians and other white collar workers, I went to the libraries community on livejournal.com and ran a very informal poll. (Very informal.)

If you’reinstitution has something interesting you’d like us to report on, dropus a line at digitization@metro.org".The blog is here.
A report from CNET news says that the most reliable search engine could be your librarian. At the risk of being obnoxious, might might say "no kidding," but in light of yesterday’s post I’ll try to behave today. Not in the news but absolutely worth reading regularly is The Corpuscle, one post from which a…
Are you familiar with the term "Mouseprint? Bob Sullivan is–or, he is now–it’s the fine print that’s so damn tiny only a mouse can read it. Sullivan took a look at a website (appropriately named Mouseprint.org) that serves as a mouseprint magnifying glass , as it were, and it makes for fun yet grim reading. …
I’ve been invited to write a few paragraphs about some cool electronic resource for the next edition of the NYAM Newsletter. And unhappily, I have a bit of a problem with that. Granted, I have the time and the talent and the motivation, but the problem persists and it’s been there for as far back…
From Andy’s website: "This terrific site is running again. It has tons of election data (click successively on all the icons below the map to see what is there) and a "nonpartisan" (but enlightened) blog about the state of the mid-term elections. Click on the "Previous report" link at the top of the page to…
