Resaca tras el cumpleaños
Bueno, pues ya hemos celebrado otro cumpleaños, el segundo. Este año fue más familiar que el año pasado, así que como estábamos en familia, nos desmelenamos un poco más, (así ha pasado Luis, que hoy ha salido el día lloviendo ;-))
Gracias a Eva, Consuelo, Carmen, Mª Jesús y Teresa por acompañarnos. Os dejamos una foto (Eva ya se había ido)
Rosario López de Prado no pudo asistir para celebrar con un trozo de tarta la elección Saad Eskander: Luchar contra la oscuridad como “Mejor post de la temporada 2007/2008″.

Hace un año hablábamos de… Los Blogs en la biblioteca 2.0
Hace un año, participamos en la Mesa redonda sobre Los blogs en la biblioteca 2.0 en las X Jornadas Españolas de Documentación FESABID.
Fue un acto donde compartimos experiencias y en el que resultó muy interesante tanto conocer otros proyectos como otros puntos de vista de la blogosfera.
Dicen las estadísticas, que la esperanza de vida de una inmensa mayoría de blogs ronda el año. Un año después, nos gustaría ver cual es la situación de todos aquellos que participamos en la mesa redonda.
Aprovechando que hoy celebramos el segundo cumpleaños de este blog hemos hecho un acto de reflexión sobre la situación des...

From the President
Last week, I attended the Eureka! Leadership Institute as a mentor, to work with 36 library leaders in CA. It was an inspiring week, allowing me to work on strategic thinking, as well as to think about the library and how we meet our goals and how best to express my thoughts on my library's vision, and my vision for libraries throughout California. (I was able to do this even though I wasn't an attendee!)
What a great opportunity to think about libraries nearly 100% of the very very full days (most went from 8 am - 9:30 pm), while mentoring and learning from those who were attending. It made me realize how important a...

comments feed
For anyone who is interested, I finally have the comments feed working properly again. Sorry about that. I wish I could integrate comments in with the main feed, considering that there are so few of them in general, but there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to do this in WordPress without some considerable code hacking.
