- Boston children's museum need your old, spare keys!!
This came to me via the library staff mailing list. Might be a cute project for a children's room to collect keys and send them as a batch or something... Boston Children's Museum will reopen to the public in April...
- Susie speaks out for scrotums, librarians, and professionalism
This is why I *heart* Susie Bright, a hero of mind ever since I saw her present at Wesleyan when I was an undergrad. Not to beat a dead horse, but I want to share just an excerpt of her...
- Props to ALA for conference info

I very much wish I could go, but I'm working that night, and there's no one to sub in for me: Geographic Information made accessible: Google Earth and Web Mapping tools with Lisa Sweeney and Daniel Sheehan Tuesday, 6 March...
- Netguides category for your usability pleasure
So, as I reviewed my blog activity log, I noticed a significant number of searches for Netguides posts. It is unfair to be, in a metaphorical sense, so neglectful of my first child and favor my youngest when it comes...
- Borders 2007 educational savings week
Working the Information Desk this morning, I got a call from the local Borders store about the educational savings week. They're going to send an email with a .pdf flyer, but the week will start Thursday, March 22, and the...
