Due to incredible demand, here are the LSW zine ordering instructions:
John Dupuis, T. Brent, technopeasant, Anna Lynn M. and 21 other people liked this
I have copies of both Librarian Bomb (Fall 2009) and Codslap! (Summer 2009). Zines are $2.00 and postage is $2.00 in US and Canada for up to, let's say, five zines. So one zine is $4.00, two in the same shipment is $6.00 and so on. Send money by PayPal to bevedog@gmail.com and be sure to specify what you want and where it should be sent. If you send me $4.00 and don't specify, I'll assume you want Librarian Bomb. I will also accept cash (preferred) or check (if you must) to Steve Lawson / LSW Clubhouse / PO Box 7893 / Colorado Springs CO 80907. Please DO NOT put "Librarian Bomb" on the envelope, as the USPS isn't known for their sense of humor about such things. For more than five zines or if you live outside North America, email me and we'll figure it out.

Holly has some copies, too (I haven't talked to the other IL mules) so we'll see if we can distribute some of the orders somehow?
- Steve is older than ever
woo, sent!
- D0r0th34
As soon as I get home (where my PayPal access info is), I'll send mine in. Woo!
- Catherine Pellegrino
Hm, so far I got one order with address attached and one without. No big deal, I'll find you if I don't have your address otherwise, but everyone might want to put the address in the comment field. Thanks.
- Steve is older than ever
Will send order tonight. Thanks!
- Betsy (bentley) Vera
I think you know where I live, but I'll PM you if you forgot.
- D0r0th34
Are you sending a free copy to contributors like you did with Codslap? If not, that's cool, I'll be more than happy to contribute $4 to the Steve Lawson Fund.
- josh neff, Fun Dip of FF
Steve, I have only one copy left and I'm sure someone in Boulder will want it.
- Matt Hamilton
I have the same question as Neff. :)
- Rachel Walden
Where can I find out more information about Librarian Bomb? I think I'd like a copy, but I'd like to find out more first.
- Derrick
There is a misconception there, as Codslap! had an author-pays model. :) Seriously, here's the deal: I printed 50 at ~ $1.40 ea., so that's $70. I'll make a bit of a profit on the $4.00 with shipping for single issues. I think Holly and Matt (and Louise?) gave copies away, so I hope someone slipped them some cash or that they stole copies from work or something. This time I didn't ask...
more...
- Steve is older than ever
Works for me, thanks!
- Rachel Walden
Derrick (& anyone else who wonders): Librarian Bomb is a zine by library folks, mostly aimed at library folks. This issue has a lot of library satire and humor, photos by Cecily, found poetry, library and Library Society of the World tales, and a coloring contest. Some of the humor might not make much sense to non-librarians. Next issue will have a theme: Lost and Found in Libraries, and I think we may get away from the parody/satire to some degree.
- Steve is older than ever
Well, I feel like a honorary librarian by proxy. The stars know I spent enough time in the library as a literature and writing undergrad. Thanks for the clarification, Steve.

Just sent for mine - thanks!

Jumping Rothman's Train: I agree with those posting in the Rothman thread that the video was exceptionally effective *as a video*. And one of the "Next LSW ideas" was podcast/videocast. Can we work up enthusiasm for an occasional videocast, done by whomever has something to say & a camera at the time?

One possibility for the time-crunched: an LSW 12seconds.tv (http://12seconds.tv/) channel? A crappy example I did a while back! http://12seconds.tv/v/USCH5
- Dana Longley
I love the idea, but I don't think I'll contribute. I don't like looking at myself on video or listening to my voice on audio. :-/
- cecily
LSW YouTube channel? I like the idea; not sure I have equipment available to contribute.
- Rachel Walden
I've got equipment and I don't mind looking at/hearing myself (though it's definitely weird and apparently when I was a preschooler it was *deeply* upsetting to me) but I'm not very good with open "Say something about something" topics - if someone gave me an assignment, though... :-)
- Deborah Fitchett
A conversation sounds fun. What kind of logistics are you thinking of: one camera focused on two people in the same location? screen capture of two people in similar timezones skyping? two people emailing an mp4 back and forth and splicing in their comments? (The last would involve a greater lead time but is probably the only way I could realistically contribute; skyping might be possible but is more likely to be awkward due to timezones.)
- Deborah Fitchett
I could possibly handle a conversation.
- cecily
I think there need not be one way to do it, especially if we had a group YouTube channel or video blog. One time it could be a monologue, one time it could be the simultaneous Skype, the other time it could be asynchronous Q&A or whatever. Iris did her little tour of her library from the front door to her office, and that kind of thing could be fun.
- Steve is older than ever
A youtube channel would be cool. Anyone want to register codslap?

We really ought to have codslap as a gmail address, too.

Has anyone tried this conference call service. I am on it right now with a state call, and seems to be working fine. I wonder what the recorded output is like though?
- JSNFLMNG
you could also do the LSW channel idea more informally - each week or month there is a topic chosen or put out to LSWers and whoever wants to can upload a video dealing with that topic from their own perspective to the LSW channel, post video and text responses to ones already posted, etc.That way we build up a diverse library of video and discussions/expressions on a variety of topics and anyone can participate (who has a web cam or the like)

Three thoughts: 1. I have no desire to see Twilight. 2. It's good to be reminded just how progressive Buffy actually was. 3. Maybe it's time for us to start another cycle of the TV series. (We watched it from Day 1, own all the DVDs, and have cycled through them once already.) Well, 4. Three cheers for fair use.
- Walt Crawford
My daughter loved the books, to the point that I had to take her and a friend to the midnight launch at the local big box for the last one in the series. She felt that the movie wasn't that great. But from what I've read on metafilter about this mashup, the stalker nature of Edward is very clear in the book too.
- DJF
Not that there's anything new about celebrating vaguely-disguised stalking: "Every breath you take" may sound nice, but I could never hear the lyrics as anything other than stalking.
- Walt Crawford
Walt, that's definitely what I got from that song too. But sting definitely exhibited a few different personality issues, including the teacher/student thing and the suicide as a response to rejection thing.
- DJF
Sting talked in interviews about how the stalking in that song was intentional.

never watched twilight but wasn't Angel and maybe Spike prone to stalking buffy too?
- aarontay
Yes, Angel stalked Buffy, but everybody in the show recognized that it was creepy.
- DJF
watched this last night, and drew and I looked at each other and said, "Buffy really did kick ass." Also, Edward = creepy, and I'm disturbed by how many preteen girls think he's just dreamy. Has the potential to mean we're setting up a generation of victims, methinks.

Brings back memories of software training that lasted three days and consisted of sitting in front of computers and watching the trainer flip through hundreds of word-covered, no-pictures-at-all PowerPoint slides for 3 whole days. The lone hour we were allowed to do some hands-on work ended abruptly when the trainer said that having so many people (15 or so) logged in was bogging down the system.

Some centrally-located city, near an airport, with wifi. It doesn't really matter to me if the city is "exciting" or not, and less exciting might mean cheaper, which would be good. Monday-Tuesday or Thursday-Friday of a week, maybe in May?

To add on to Iris' comment - "near an airport" for me, means within about 2 hours drive of a major airport - the city itself doesn't have to have a major one, but I think being within reasonable drive (and reasonable means different things to different people, I know) time of a major airport would help.

Weekdays - not over a weekend if possible - the Monday-Tues or Thurs-Friday idea is good.

why just one? do multiple meetings in different time zones and connect them electronically, such as with webcams, etc. would help with cost and would maybe allow more people to attend and then days wouldn't matter as much. schedule could be whatever pops into our heads depending upon whose around at any given time.

Ditto "near" some airport that has lots of flights coming to it. Lots of moderately priced hotels have good rooms with free wifi. We could rent a conference room (large) or maybe take over a local public/academic library.

Many LSW members will be together 4 and 5 Feb 2010 in Melbourne for a techie conference - probably the next gathering of so many in Oz. We would need to co-ordinate carefully, but our Sunday before would be your Saturday and we could do some kind of sync up :)

My house! It'll be a really easy schedule because I'm probably the only one who could get there so I'll just do whatever I want. :-) Alternatively, we should definitely have electronic connections because no way I'll be able to get to the US or Europe or... anywhere, really; I must update my passport.

I nominate Nashville. Airport for the flyers (including Southwest), and for the drivers, Tennessee is bordered by 8 states. Plus, library conferences never happen here. Pretty sure there should be game-playing for those libs who haven't had a chance to try the systems hands-on. And lots of coffee. And knitting lessons.

- Rachel Walden
I'd like to see 2 days (at least) with one day scheduled in advance so those people who need to show the boss a program or need to be a presenter to get permission to go have a chance to do that (and because advance preparation is not always a bad thing). Another day should be closer to pure unconference. People who aren't into the scheduled stuff should have ample space to uncon/lobbycon on that day, too.

On behalf of the apparently very few fulltime LIS faculty members in LSW, I second the February idea, as not much else happens and it's not peak grading time, but weekdays are a problem for those of us who still teach face-to-face. Personally, early week would be good, but that's just me. Place with low cost of visiting
- Candy Schwartz
I figure that if I go (and I want to!) it will be on my own time and dime. How far is the drive from Chicago to Kansas City? Maybe there's a train? Maybe we could have an LSW car on the train? Maybe the Amtrak webpage could load sometime this century?
- Betsy (bentley) Vera
If there'll be a web-connected component so I can attend in NZ, early February would be better than late because the uni year starts in <checks> 22nd Feb, so from the 15th Feb (Orientation) will be chaos.
- Deborah Fitchett
Oh, if we're ensuring Amtrak-accessible, Nashville is out. Only goes to Memphis.
- Rachel Walden
KC is Amtrak-accessible, although there's only one passenger train that goes through, from Chicago to LA & back.
- josh neff, Fun Dip of FF
oh behalf of children's librarians....please not June or July.
- Abigail
Never been to KC nor Nashville and both look doable. Of course, it depends on when.
- Betsy (bentley) Vera
I would kind of recommend against July or August if Nashville, if you all wilt in the heat like I do - that's when it can be around 90F here on some days.

So here is some info about how code4lib handles this. http://code4lib.org/confere... I guess soon we need to switch the discussion from "when and where should this be?" to "who is willing to step up and propose we do this at their institution?" And then vote or otherwise hash it out from there.

Oops, I forgot to answer Rachel. I don't know entirely, but there are registration fees associated with code4lib ($125 for the 2008 event). You can see proposals to host the 2009 event here: http://code4lib.org/node/282

How does your library encourage play, innovation, and experimentation? Is there formal support for R&D or do new things just "magically" happen due to a rogue librarian or two?
suelibrarian, Jason Griffey, Dana Longley and 2 other people liked this
My library pays lip service to play, innovation & experimentation, but there are a number of things that actually block it. IT won't give anyone admin rights on their PCs & only let people use IE, which I think doesn't really foster play. You can come up with new ideas, but they have to pass thru a number of committees before being enacted.
- josh neff, Fun Dip of FF
As the Library Director, I try to model play. Also, we often start our staff meetings with a short (and I hope fun) technology demonstration/sharing.
- Kenley Neufeld
My library doesn't. Anything innovative must be done on the sly and with extreme caution. DON'T GET CAUGHT. And don't ask for support. You won't get it. It is permissible, barely, to pass information around about new things. *Do them* and you can expect trouble.
- D0r0th34
innovation was a major theme ot WAAL this year. Our director wasn't here, but maybe the word will get out about the importance of fostering innovation and celebrating creativity.
- Jen
i've set up a development server (lamp) that can be used to play on & pretty much anyone that wants can have access - there is a learning curve involved - librarians/staff generally have root access on their workstations & we have access to the public workstations -
- bob
Traditionally, innovation & play haven't been actively supported (we r housed in IT dept: security=focus). But if I create a well thought-out proposal highlighting potential improvements in service/process/cost, & if possible, just go ahead & build an effective prototype (assuming no server space or costs r associated) for people to play with, I can generally bring stakeholders around to embracing change. My proven track record in this now gives me a decent amount of extra leeway to experiment as I see fit.
- Dana Longley
My library encourages new ideas by providing a form for them to be described on, which one gives to one's manager, who takes it to the branch managers' meeting, who approve it to go through to the library leadership meeting, who approve the creation of a project group to meet and discuss it in more detail before making recommendations to be approved by library leadership and then implemented. (I've missed out a few sub-steps.)
- Deborah Fitchett
Thanks for all the comments! Deborah, I simultaneously cringed and laughed as I read all those steps. I wish that libraries were more open to regular play and that a certain amount of our workdays/workweeks were allocated to exploring and experimenting. After all, research shows that recess is good for children...In the meantime; perhaps it is best to continue doing and then ask for forgiveness if needed.
