Um, wow. That sounds very uncomfortable. - Laura H.

Back in the day when I had babies, I had to lock myself up in a storage closet at work at "pumping time". It was a small room where we stored our older legal materials that we did not want people to walk off with and I had the only key. My chair was a library kick stand. Cozy, utilitarian, but quiet and served the purpose. - Marie Kaddell

Mike and I are going tomorrow..except we're going separately cuz no babysitter. - Carleen

I'm glad to see mainstream media taking an interest in this topic. It needs discussion from outside the profession. - Carleen from twhirl

interesting blend of crowdsourcing & librarianship. - Stephanie_GoBigBlue!

I like Jing, but last time I tried it I wasn't able to find an option to zoom in on a portion of a website. I think this is one feature that's particularly helpful for users when viewing screencasts. - Carleen from twhirl

Yep - Jing doesn't zoom, I don't think. It's pretty basic. David Lee King davidleeking.com - blog davidleeking.com/etc - videoblog twitter | skype: davidleeking - David Lee King from email

"theft is different in a digital world, in that you can leave what you have stolen will remain in the store, is also different ownership. There is really no point in owning the music digitally, as long as you can obtain access to it. What is the point of owning an e-book, as long as you can access it as often as you like? You get the regardless nothing to brighten up the bookshelf with. Ownership lose significance." "Akkurat som tyveri blir annerledes i en digital verden, ved at du kan la det du har stjålet ligge igjen i butikken, er også eierskap annerledes. Det er egentlig ingen vits i å eie musikken digitalt, så lenge du kan skaffe deg tilgang til den. Hva er egentlig vitsen med å eie en e-bok, så lenge du kan få tilgang til den så ofte du vil? Du får jo uansett ikke noe å pynte opp bokhyllen med. Eierskapet mister betydning." - Carleen

Congratulations! - Jàson Puçkett

very nice news! congrats! - αnnα vαȵ scoyoç

"In many ways, the Internet is providing a next generation public sphere. Unfortunately, it's also bringing with it next generation divides" - Carleen

I think it would for the twitter users...quick access to review material while listening to presenter. Could encourage more discussion. - Carleen from twhirl

They are treated as poor surrogates for such machines and instruments. Why should children -- or adults, for that matter -- be asked to do something computers and related equipment can do much better than they can? - Carleen

Wikipedia is an amazing resource and yet the teachers in my kids' school deride it as "not reliable". Well I'll tell you this much, Wikipedia is more reliable than some of my kids' teachers. - Carleen

FYI - retweeting is the art of broadcasting a message on Twitter that has been written by someone else but you feel will be of interest and value to your followers.. think of it as a kind of mini chain mail but one that has a use and purpose and doesn’t tell you that you’re going to die if you don’t send this email to 20,000 people in the next 12 seconds. - Carleen

Abstract: The striking wall paintings uncovered in the excavations at Çatalhöyük have fascinated archaeologists and non-archaeologists alike, and many interpretations of their content and meaning have been proposed. This article re-evaluates the claim that one of these paintings is a map of the village, with Hasan Dağ erupting above it. It is argued that the excavator’s first interpretation of the objects depicted in the painting, i.e., that they are a leopard skin above a panel of geometric design, is in fact a far more reasonable one, when this painting is contextualised within the entire corpus of painting and other art objects found at the site. Implications of this re-interpretation for our understanding of Neolithic spatial and symbolic representation, and the origin of map-making are considered, as well as the importance of the depiction of animals and felines in the Neolithic period - Carleen
