I asked the favorite beer question before, but I now wanna know what crappy beer you like? What is your cheap, guilty pleasure beer? Sometimes you wanna get a buzz on the cheap, so what do you reach for?????

If a bar has PBR on tap, I'll get some. I guess it's legitimately sessionable. Probably not bringing home a case of it, though. Unless, that is, I need to forget a very horrible day.

Yuengling has a Black & Tan six pack that is both cheap and delicious. My brain (and gut) can't handle the good old days when a case of Schaeffer would do the trick (it's "the one beer to have when you're having more than one!) http://bit.ly/7PUh4K

I have no actual evidence other than the sense of satisfaction that emanates from our LibGuide coordinator. My impression is that it is better than before.
- Andy Woodworth
I think part of the appeal of LibGuides is ease of construction and maintenance compared to other methods of managing subject guides. Perhaps a fairer measure is usage divided by staff time.
- D0r0th34
The usability crew at UMich just did some usability testing with LibGuides - interesting stuff: http://www.lib.umich.edu/node...

I would *love* to see usage stats pertaining to LibGuides. I'm a Doubter.
- mita
Also ease of including dynamic content and multimedia. The stats provided by LibGuides are also a lot easier to understand than our in-house stats (I couldn't even begin to pull out subject guide stats prior to the change) though I don't think this was a deciding factor. :-)
- Deborah Fitchett
I can definitively say that LibGuides allowed us to easily embed meebo chat widgets on each page and doing that has resulted in our reference transactions (esp chat) skyrocketing ever since. It also gave us the confidence to feature our subject guides as the main portal into library resources, which has resulted in more overall hits to our Subject Guides than previously (altho I can't say the same thing wouldn't have resulted had we done thew same with our old static html guides).
- Dana Longley

I do think our LibGuides have increased web traffic. Partly because our web authoring system is so locked down that this finally put some control and decision making in the librarians hands. Plus it give more options, that of course were always there but now ppl are finally actually embedding RSS, videos, etc. And I love it when Slaven drops in with a comment!

If you don't need noise cancellation, the Sennheiser PX100 folding headphones (on-ear, not in-ear) have very good sound and pack nicely. (That's what I use.) If you need noise reduction, something in-ear would probably be better; sorry, but no experience. (The Sennheisers should cost $49.50.)
- Walt Crawford
Just asked a friend (headphone expert who spends more than I could dream spending on his headphones) about this last week. He recommended Sennheiser 300x for affordable, quality headphones.
- J450N
My son just gave me Sony noise cancelling headphones as a gift - under $40! A few reviews rate them as the best noise cancelling headphones under $50. http://bit.ly/69wpXF I'm sure they're not as good as the Bose, but I think they are pretty good.
- steven bell
i think i got my sharper image bose knock-offs for between $35 and $50. i really, really like them and don't know what i'd do without a set of noise cancellers.
- Katie
Katie--the ones I'm seeing on SI require a battery?? Do yours?
- Abigail
Thanks for the recommends coming in so far--I'm happy to make a decent investment..just not bank breaking considering I'm known to lose the occasional headset--hence not Bose...
- Abigail
Yep, 1AAA for the noise-cancelling effect. You can get away without one if you don't want to use the nc.
- Katie
I was just doing a bit of research on over the ear portable headphones. The Sennheiser PX100/PX200 are good. I ended up ordering the Koss PortaPro. The Koss KSC75 gets a lot of good reviews too.
- Rodfather
I like Porta Pros, but for an airplane ride, if you can tolerate in-ear earphones, I think those are way better than active noise cancellation, not that I've tried active cancellers. Senn cx300s or something else good. (I don't like to recommend Sony because of the "Sony timer"; specifically the Fontopia earphones I had where the headphone cable insulation was apparently made to dissolve on contact with water.)

- Fiona Bradley
That's not fair, Aaron -- asking a valid question to an ambiguous post. Out of all the committees, I'm really most interested in what's coming out of the OITP folks. Maybe that should be my guide. At the same time, I'm really just interested in whatever committees are honestly (and actively) thinking about positioning libraries at the forefront of the future of information services. Tall order, I know.
- J450N
It's a starting point, my online reference interview if you will... If you're interested in OITP stuff you want OITP Advisory committee, if you've not served on an ALA committee before indicate you're interested in being an intern on the committee. (I'm in my 6th year with the OITP Advisory Committee, 2 years as intern (where I was treated as an equal member) and 2 two-year appointments as member (2 consecutive appointments is the term limit) and this group r0x0rs!)
- awd
immensely helpful. as if i expected anything other than that from you. thanks!
- J450N
Agree with Aaron, but that's actually a pretty competitive position. I don't recommend hanging your committee hopes on one posittion, especially intern for OITP Advisory. If you need help finding other options as backups, lmk. Depending on your interests, ORS (Research & Statistics) could be interesting, as could the new Advocacy Office & other groups in the +ashington Office.

Remember, there's always work at LSW. ;)

The key is to write a note in your interest form - "I'm most interested in what's coming out of the OITP folks" *and here's why and how my experiences and strengths would further the OITP folks* would make for a great start .. mention the related stuff (here's where I as you about which OITP stuff specifically and why it interests you) and pick a relevant to you 2nd & 3rd choice and...

OITP is too sekseh for my cat, what you think about that? Seriously, though - thanks for posting about this, Jason. You helped inspire an internal conversation at ALA about how we can make the whole "trying to figure it out" process easier, and we have an idea about one possible way to solve it.
- Jenny Levine
Thanks for all the feedback. Of course I filled out the form before Aaron's useful direction, but hopefully I succinctly got my point across about how/why I'd like to be involved with OITP. The online form doesn't really provide much feedback about how much/how little information should be included in making your case as a volunteer.
