It is day two of the MLA conference and my schedule for today is full and I am facilitating a round table today at noon on solo librarians. I know some of the conversation from last night has shifted the topics I had planned. So what is my plan for the day? Well it starts [...] - Alisha764

The first day of the conference was a phenomenal success. The planning committee, LAC, Michelle Kraft, Teresa Knott, vendors, and others have done a fantastic job. The theme has been well accepted and translates into seeing T. Scott Plutchak in non black attire. Of course his Jeremy was, as he said, historically significant. I should [...] - Alisha764

Skillshare While it is not available in my area it is an awesome idea. I would like to see it combine the local options with online options so it could be opened to the world. Imagine an online class that you could teach and be viewed worldwide. Very interesting idea. I would also like to [...] - Alisha764

While it is not available in my area it is an awesome idea. I would like to see it combine the local options with online options so it could be opened to the world. Imagine an online class that you could teach and be viewed worldwide. Very interesting idea. I would also like to see Skillshare hire a librarian to manage the knowledge management part of their site, for instance adding tags to quickly find specific classes you are interested in. Like tags for "shoes," "Vegan" cooking, etc. This would be in addition to the categories. Yes I can search for the item, but it's nice to see the "cloud" of tags to get an idea of what's available without scrolling through a long list. Still a great idea with lots of potential. - Alisha764

Sitting in the  ”Informatics for librarians: peeling the onion” class today, PJ Grier defined informatics as the combination of health, computer, and library science.  Then why are medical librarians not involved in the design, development, implementation, training, and sustaining of EHR systems?   Why do vendors of information systems such as ebooks, EMR, and other [...] - Alisha764
