Daniel doesn't like opportunistic infections. Now he's got pneunomia, but at least of the walking kind. Much more rest and 2 antibiotics. Think's he'll avoid hospital this time.
Ack! I hope you recuperate quickly!!

oh noes! try to get some rest.

Hope you get through it fast.

Thanks for all your kind words. Antibiotics are working well.

Bumping my map, which I will update next week! Yay!
- Laura Lou Who
Hmmm. I'll take out the "airport only" states next week, too. Just to be fair.
- Laura Lou Who
so you'll be going to Alaska and Hawaii also? and then driving to Washington right?
- Sir Shuping
Ha. I wish! No, I'll just get to add Missouri, fix Kentucky, and delete Utah, I think.
- Laura Lou Who
you'll delete utah??? will it cease to exist except in our minds?

Quite possibly, Sir S.

Here's a serious question. When dealing with a dementia patient, is it better to go along with their version of reality, no matter what it is, or is it better to help him hold on to reality by reminding him of what is real? Research is best, but personal anecdotes accepted. If you know me personally, I'll take direct e-mail questions on this topic.
When in doubt, go to MedlinePlus. See http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medline..., which has a link to http://www.caregiver.org/caregiv..., which includes ten tips for communicating to dementia patients. Verdict - don't argue over their reality, ok to keep identifying yourself and try talking about the distant past. Still interested in personal stories if you're comfortable with that.

Absolutely happy to answer questions. Trying to remember what other library blogs I read (I outsource my memory to Google Reader). NZ National Library has http://createreaders.natlib.govt.nz and http://librarytechnz.natlib.govt.nz/ I can dig up some non-anglophone ones too for that matter if you read French, Spanish, Dutch or Scandinavian (which I know isn't a single language, but I read them all equally badly, so...)

Just a note, depending on your schedule. I might (energy & time allowing) do a "where are they now?" update to my 2007 library blog studies--which would appear in Cites & Insights and might (or might not) be useful background for your book. C&I is BY-NC, but a permission to use (a book is, technically, commercial use) would be pretty much automatic on my part. In fact, hereby granted (if I do the update!)
- Walt Crawford
Thanks kindly, Walt. I have to wrap things up in the next week or so, so probably not enough time. But I'll track down your original article and have a look. Cheers!
- Connie Crosby
Connie: And I can assure you the update--which probably will happen--absolutely, positively will not appear until August 2009 at the earliest. (Things have to calm down more at home and ALA happens in mid-July...) As my latest post at Walt at Random suggests, though, something of the sort, a lightweight followup, probably will happen.

It's not good for the mind! Unless you like resolving multiple continuity breaks w/in the same episode. "Finish them off team!" But great music. And it's available via Netflix watch instantly.

Lazyweb Query, FriendFeed division: Camtasia or Captivate for library instruction screencasts?
suelibrarian and Sir Shuping liked this
We use Captivate, but I don't have any opinions about its merits relative to Camtasia. It works well for what we need it to do.
- Stephen Francoeur
This might be useful (was written by two of my colleagues) - http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/article...
- Rachel Walden
Primarily Captivate, with a significant and growing helping of Articulate thrown in. Note that Articulate is significantly more expensive and not everyone has a copy on their computer, but there are two centralized copies available on computers that may be reserved for use. It's also significantly more powerful too.
- ÉllbeeÇee
Wink for me (when it renders properly) because it is free.
- ♫Geek in the 410♫
Camtasia for my library. But don't have opinion relative to Capitivate. Seems like a low learning curve for us.
- Daniel Cornwall
Camtasia is easier to use if doing just a plain screencast. If you want to recreate an environment and have people click and interact with the material then Captivate. I've heard good things about Articulate but have not used newer versions.
- Lori Reed
Thanks for your comments, everyone, especially to Rachel for that terrific link. From the chatter on ILI-L, it sounds like Camtasia has a larger user base, possibly due to cost and lower learning curve. We're just going to be doing plain screencasts for now, so I think I'll download the trial version of Camtasia and mess around with it in my *ahem* copious free time *ahem*.

How so?
- cecily
I'm with Cecily -- although I think the comments should be quoted in context of the main entry.
- Daniel Cornwall
Seems less "official," more likely that it's the person making an unguarded comment, rather than their fully-thought-out idea. I know I have been more unhinged in comments than I have ever been on my blog.
- s t e v e
But if that unguarded comment illustrates your point, especially when provided in context like Daniel suggested, I say use it.
- cecily
I started thinking about it in the context of people charging registration fees for library camps not so much because they need the revenue, but as "nuisance fees" to try and ensure that people who register are more likely to attend. See Tennant and Murray in the comments here: http://stevelawson.name/seealso... I think if I were to quote one or both of them, I'd ask first in this case.
- s t e v e
And theoretically I agree with Cecily and Daniel, but it just "feels" weird.
- s t e v e
It's a new world. Information lives in places not cover in that old Little Brown Book. Have at it.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
What about checking with the author of the comment first, if possible? If I know the blogger I may leave a comment using an inside joke that would appear completely out of line to the casual reader and wouldn't be thrilled about it being used out of context in a book.
- Nikki D.
I've been thinking about this also, and have concluded that comments to a blog are bound by the license and ethos of the blog itself. I don't see any other way to make things work at all. Practically, a signed comment on a blog is as public as the blog itself. So if it's fair to quote a post, it's fair to quote the comments--and, as you might note, I do it all the time (in C&I and on the Library Leadership Network).
- Walt Crawford
I also felt funny about it because that thread got a little heated. I wouldn't quote Roy as saying "Frankly, if $30 is a barrier to your attendance at an unconference, then you likely can’t afford to get there in any event." Well, I wouldn't quote it in a *book*. :D
- s t e v e
What about making it an anonymous quote? Or is that not done?
- cecily
(that said, I think charging fees for library camps goes against the spirit of -Camps)
- cecily
Now, I'd quote that--with Roy T's name attached--in a heartbeat. In a book or elsewhere. He signed it. I don't expect that he'd object to its use.
- Walt Crawford
I think I'd ask for permission first...and I'm not sure why. I guess (and I recognize this is illogical!) sometimes courtesy/politesse may trump what-rights?
- Lorena O'English
Not illogical at all, Lorena. Courtesy SHOULD be more than law demands.
- D0r0th34
I'm with Lorena, though I think I would cast my request for permission more along the lines of giving the commenter some advance warning, so s/he isn't blindsided by the quote, and also offering him/her the opportunity to clarify what they meant, if somehow the comment didn't come out precisely they way they'd intended.
- Catherine Pellegrino
I'm with Walt on this one. A blog comment is more-or-less like a letter to the editor -- a public statement. And like a letter to the editor, it will very often not be obvious how to contact the writer for permission. Also, assuming that our bloggy discussions will have long lives kicking around the net, what about quoting comments 10 or 20 or more years after they are made. I think treating them like letters to the editor makes the most sense.
- John Dupuis
I've had people give me the opportunity to anonymize a quote, and I've always been grateful and once or twice taken advantage of the offer. I accept that it may not be *necessary* to ask about quoting a comment, and I've never pitched a fit when someone quoted me, but it's still *appreciated*. (Cringed, yes. Pitched a fit, no.)
- D0r0th34
It seems like Steve is talking about comments posted to his blog, but what happens if it's something posted to someone else's blog? You can't always find the user (some folks put up fake names/e-mails cause they don't want to be identified for whatever reason). And what if the persons used someone elses name? Might it be better to go ahead and use the comment, cite the specific post, but not the person's name?
- Sir Shuping
I don't like this. A few comments of mine have ended up in the WaPo and NYT, completely out of context. The authors didn't even bother to contact me or warn me that my comments would be used, even though a click on my name would have taken them to a profile page with my email address. One comment was over-the-top snark, mocking another poster. But it fit in with Chris Cilizza's framing so he ran with it. I found it impossible to see how following that thread he could even think I was making a serious point.
- Admiral Anika
What's not fair game without permission? Anything in Facebook or other similar walled gardens. Also stuff on private feeds here or in Twitter.
- John Dupuis
I should be more sympathetic with Anika than I am. Sure, for most of us, "don't put anything online, signed, that you wouldn't be willing to see on the front page of the NYTimes" is hyperbole--but isn't that the first piece of advice most of us get about active participation? Maybe it's because I feel free in my ejournal, and always have, to treat comments the same as posts, quoting when applicable.
- Walt Crawford
Walt, that's true, but I also think "don't be a jerk" is another common piece of advice. I don't think I have seen you violate that rule when quoting comments, but when pulling a quote out of a string of sometimes-heated blog comments it would be easy to do.
- s t e v e
Context matters. I wouldn't blink if a blogger used a comment of mine on that blog *in* that blog. The NYT or somebody's book ganking it, I might indeed blink.
- D0r0th34
Yes. What Dorothea said. And Anika's experience is exactly what I was getting at in my previous comment about at least attempting to run the quote past the commenter to give them a heads-up.
- Catherine Pellegrino
Steve: Agreed-of course, "Don't be a jerk" is another formulation of the Fundamental Principle. I'm sure I've violated it at times (and have been the object of such violations), but it's still a basic rule. As for running every quote past commenters--maybe a nice idea, but (for me at least) wholly impractical.

Yeah, just don't be like my daddy and overmedicate. :-\

Don't worry C. I like a little taste, but my bark is waaay worse than my bite. All I have to do is recall my paternal grandfather and I hit my limit.

No offense taken babe. Just family looking out for family. I oughta write about my dad's dad someday. Mean son of a gun. Drunk most of the time. My dad never said a kind word about him... ever. When I finally met him I was grown and he was burned out. No hard feelings though. He was what he was. And my mother's dad more than compensated.

That's a story I'd love to read.

Just deactivated my Ning account. Look for me mostly on FriendFeed, Facebook and sometimes on ALA Connect.

Yeah, Ning always seems like a good idea, but it doesn't seem to have any stickiness.

The Ning has no bling.

And I'm hanging on to my LinkedIn account, but that's where I do "Slam the Boards" when I remember and can find questions that are for facts and not opinions.
- Daniel Cornwall
I guess I still have a LinkedIn account. It was SO PRODUCTIVE when I was jobseeking, how could I abandon it? (I don't do emoticons...) Well, at least the company took over the Mountain View space RLG wanted out of.

Unsubbed: Am Library Association. I may be a loyal ALA member, but if The Association feels the need to tag loads of Second Life and social networking stuff here, it's not serving my needs, it's adding noise to my day. (Of course, I always wonder about corporate bodies as FF "people"...)

I'd agree. It's not terribly useful for ALA to participate in FriendFeed in this way. Instead, they (he/she/it or whatever is behind the account) could be highlighting notable events and resources from ALA (such as they are).

I didn't know ALA had a FF presence, but it sounds like I didn't miss anything. I am quite pleased with the ALA Techsource feed, though, in terms of pointing to useful tidbits: http://friendfeed.com/alatech...

Thanks for the feedback. This brings up one of the issues we keep running into with SNS and ALA, which is the sheer size of the 800 pound gorilla. I removed the ALA Library's feeds from our FriendFeed account, because I think that's where the links for SL and SNS were coming from. But what would you want to see in an ALA feed? I suspect the ACRL folks don't want to see YALSA info, and...

ack - I hit return early - sorry. As I was saying, you probably want to ask the pieces of ALA you want to see on FF to join FF. I'm hoping to do an explanatory demo of the site at the next staff ITTS Update meeting so that other units will know what it is. That would be in mid-June, so at that point more ALA staff will know what you're talking about if you approach them. That said, I...

Actually, for me I think ALA in FF is a distraction--I can go to ALA Connect for that. But that's me. I think divisional feeds may work better for others (but what do I know?)
- Walt Crawford
Jenny - What about suggesting people use the "imaginary friend" function in FF to track the ALA feeds they're interested in? Thanks for your efforts at monitoring feedback on ALA web 2.0 efforts.
- Daniel Cornwall
Thanks, Daniel. I thought about that, but my goal is to remove as many barriers as possible, and forcing folks to do something themselves is a barrier in my mind. Heck, anything that takes more effort than clicking a button is a barrier these days, so I'm experimenting with a variety of options. I figure if we throw enough stuff at the wall, something will stick for someone, and the...

the cat says it is bedtime. Am i at the mercy of my cat? possibly.
Well, cats sleep what, 16 hours a day? I conclude that because they sleep about twice as much as humans, they must be twice as good at sleeping as humans. Therefore, they are more knowledgeable about things such as bed time and you should definitely do what they say. :)

My cat only announces wake up times. Loudly.

My cat jumped on me with a vengeance the other morning. OTOH if she hadn't I'd have missed my bus so I forgave her.

We've had rain every day since Friday (though not all day long). It's supposed to continue this way until Saturday.
