So, Colleen’s to do list (which I am mighty impressed by) reminded me of the call for papers for the Library Instruction Cookbook. Which seems like a great idea, tons of active learning ideas! Also, something I would love to contribute to. The ‘ingredient list’ kind of got under my skin though. Especially this part: [...]

If it were Grey’s Anatomy there would at least be some McSteamy and some hanky panky, right? I have so much work I’m supposed to be plowing through right now, but the medical situations going on around me (well, around my life.

In my haste and eagerness to try liveblogging at Computers in Libraries, I published a very very stream of consciousness note taking post of a session.
