If you were with a Chinese person and this came up, how amused - http://happyantipodean.blogspot.com/2009...
i'm so chinese i can't even figure out the joke in the picture... can only read the chinese characters...
- rachael
I'm not Chinese but I still stared at it a long time when someone sent it to me, trying to figure out a) what was the joke meant to be (I *think* it's the "fook hing" part which the senders must think is pronounced somehow like "f**king"??) and b) why on earth she thought it'd amuse me. I ended up deleting it without comment; maybe I should have sent a "Huh? I don't get it" instead.

Ya I don't mind double yolk either, must have yolk!

I think we would totally confuse NYC with this, I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

You know it. Also, I'm pretty sure my son's preschool/daycare class will be there.

You know I'll write up CR.
- Nikki D.
Excellent. Nikki, that could be a whole special issue! (Which would be cool!)
- s t e v e
Given CR was in the name of the Cod and so many here helped promote/cover, that would be a cool group issue.
- Nikki D.
I think I could bang something out.
- josh neff, geek at large
I will actually do something, instead of just saying I will.
- laura x
I'll come up with something. (What, I don't know.) I felt left out once I read issue #1.
- Jàson Puçkett
Could it have been formerly posted on a blog? Cuz I have one that just really needs to be immortalized in print. (Or is it the other way around and the internet is immortal?)
- valalalala lala la la
And on another note, how do we get a copy of the first issue?
- valalalala lala la la
Yay! Thank you Jason :)
- valalalala lala la la
Copy secured. Paypal FTW!
- valalalala lala la la
Val, the idea is new stuff, but if it's a blog post that would work in a zine, it would probably be OK. (And thanks for the order.)
- s t e v e
I'd happily contribute, if you still need folks. Even have an idea already. :-)
- Librarienne
If you ever want quotations from Progressive Era librarians for space filler, I have some fun ones. Also, library poetry from that era such as this: http://harmoniasnecklace.blogspot.com/2007... Really, I have tons of this stuff on my computer thanks to my dissertation research.
- Katy S
Katy, wow! Any interest in writing up an article with excerpts from the fun stuff that didn't make it into the dissertation?
- s t e v e
I will write up something. Reminds me, I will mail you the check tomorrow for Codslap! 1(1).
- Joe
Steve - What is your timeline? I probably can, but for the next month I'll be focusing on the dissertation, trying to wrap up the final chapter and do the revisions.
- Katy S
Oh, finish the diss!
- s t e v e
I can submit my LC poetry? Is that any good? (let me down gently)
- Meg v. Meg v. 1.0.0.1
LC poetry sounds great.
- s t e v e
i had some collage work i meant to contribute for #1, so i'll try for #2!
- rachael
Dumb question: but what kind of contributions are you looking for?
- cecily
Not a dumb question at all. Something library-related (at least dimly) suitable for a zine aimed at other librarians. Funny is good, but so is heartfelt or incisive or "hunh, I'd never heard that before." I'd love to see day in the life stuff, photos or scans of things found in libraries, thoughts about what libraries mean in this day and age and so on. Parodies of library sacred cows...

If I decide to go ahead with an October "press date," I'll give more guidelines shortly. I'm also hoping more people will do something a little more "hand made" with handwriting or drawings or just hand-pasted chunks of type (like Jenna's contribution to this issue).
- s t e v e
Handmade isn't my thing, but here are all the photos in my Flickr feed with the tag library: http://www.flickr.com/search... - you're welcome to use anything you see here (just let me know what you want to use).
- cecily
Cecily, wonderful! I forgot to mention photos.
- s t e v e
Cecily - Those photos are fabulous!
- Katy S
Thanks. :)
- cecily
Bump. What's up?
- Jàson Puçkett
Oh, thanks for reminding me that people can't read my mind. YES. Let's do it. LSW Zine #2, tentatively named "It looks like someone dropped a LIBRARIAN BOMB in here" for late October, Internet Librarian distribution. I'll post to my blog tonight or tomorrow.
- s t e v e
Tell me what you are missing and I'll be happy to contribute. I'm yer jack-of-all-trades type. I can glue stick with the best of them! <ahem, but I don't do scrapbooking>
- Connie Crosby
I will tentatively contribute something. I have a list of Codslap! ideas going, but I have to actually do one of them.
- Rachel Walden
BTW, what's the preferred submission method for mixed media materials? :)
- Rachel Walden
Hm. You can send me the original and I'll scan/photograph it or you can scan/photograph it and send me the file. I guess jpg or pdf would be best. Format is half-letter sized, so keep that in mind as you create.
- s t e v e
Have you set a submission deadline, Steve?
- Jàson Puçkett
Jason, let's say October 1. And I'll probably have to be pretty strict about that. I'll make an "official" blog post this weekend or Monday or some time soon.
- s t e v e
Awesome, thanks. My friend and I may write a field guide to guybrarians or something like that.
- Jàson Puçkett
I'd like to contribute to this one. What are you looking for, Steve?
- Louise Alcorn
Thanks for the info, Steve!
- Rachel Walden
Thinking of mixed media, will you accept film strips, slides (kodacrhome or the like) or transparencies?
- Joe
micro-opaque?

I'm working on a book about blogging for libraries. I'm gathering up my favourite library blogs, but would like to expand the list. What are your favourite blogs by libraries? All kinds of libraries/blogs welcome. :-)

Great! Thank you for all of these. I may send you a few questions later if that's okay.
- Connie Crosby
more suggestions welcome. Thanks, y'all!
- Connie Crosby
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...)
- Deborah Fitchett
You are awesome, Deborah! Hey, anyone else want to plug a fave blog? Even your own?
- Connie Crosby
putting this back at the top--still looking for suggestions. Thanks, folks!

I like Shelf Talk by Seattle Public Library
- Abigail
Connie, I've certainly prepared lists of, and commentary on, library blogs (in two largely-failed books), and listed some of those I found most interesting. The lists aren't hard to find. Better luck with your book than I had with mine!
- Walt Crawford
Thanks kindly Abigail & Walt. This book is part of an emerging technologies for libraries series being published by Schuman-Neal, edited by Ellyssa Kroski, so I am optimistic it will do well! :-)
- Connie Crosby
Fremantle Library, heh. http://frelibrary.wordpress.com

Merci! :)

Curtin University Library . Love the student engagement in this thread. http://apps.library.curtin.edu.au/blogs... They do not moderate comments and work hard with podcasts of summer reading and topics from uni academics designed to spark conversation.

You guys rock! Thanks so much. <3
- Connie Crosby
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.
- Walt Crawford
Two awesome library blogs I just discovered: Berkeley Heights Public Library Blog http://bhplnjbookgroup.blogspot.com/ (the writing is inspired!) and in case you haven't seen it yet, Awful Library Books http://awfullibrarybooks.wordpress.com/ - a hoot!

I love it! The OneMinuteCritic http://oneminutecritic.wordpress.com/ - one minute video reviews of books from the Vancouver Community Library in Vancouver, Washington

Does your library have a mobile device charging station, or any way of dealing with this?
Does anyone actually allow mobile phone charging? I imagine most libraries get narky about this, but then again we let people plug in laptops...

Web 2.0 is a mindthing - http://digilib.weblog.ub.rug.nl/node...
Just been thinking about the unconference, and how many people said they needed to convince their management. How do we convince management, who are used to particular ways of doing things, of the value of trying new stuff (especially new stuff that is not necessarily tried and true)?
- 趙美鈴 (Con Wiebrands)
i like the policy of not actually trying to convince management of the idea first, but going ahead and doing it, and then saying 'look, this is what we can do!" which may change their minds...
- rachael
that's what I did - trouble happened when they wanted the same thing but on their terms eg firewalled
