  Swag!

  I just created a new logo. What do people think as a t-shirt image?

  Is Librarianship a Profession?

  Here's a thought of my own:

  When the LSW was started, one idea I felt very strongly about was that anyone who had anything to do with libraries could be a full, participating, equal member, degree or no degree. The LSW makes no distinction between degreed professionals (that is, with some form of an MLS--and the fact that there's no standard degree is significant in itself) and library professionals (incuding part-time staff, library board members, Friends of the Library, etc) without a Master's degree in library/information studies/science.

  Facebook page or group?

  I asked this question about six months ago in the Meebo room, and got a solid "meh" as an answer from everyone. But every so often, I think about it again. Mostly because it costs nothing (but time) to create & maintain a FB group.

  Computers in Libraries 2008

  After the unconference last week, the thought of a big conference with sessions that have been set in stone for months, where free wifi is apparently a monetary dealbreaker, excites me not at all. Meeting up with people, having great conversations, sharing ideas--that I'm looking forward to.

  Welcome to the Library Society of the World!

  That was sort of the reason I set this up, Anna. (I mean, not for you specifically, although if you want to think of it that way, you can.)
