Interesting: Google Policy Fellowship program: http://www.google.com/policyf...
Program Overview "The Google Policy Fellowship program was inspired by Google's Summer of Code with a public policy twist. The Google Policy Fellowship program offers undergraduate, graduate, and law students interested in Internet and technology policy the opportunity to spend the summer contributing to the public dialogue on these issues, and exploring future academic and professional interests."

For anyone looking to publish, I hear that Public Services Quarterly is looking for submissions. See http://www.tandfonline.com/toc...
Saw this on the ILI-L mailing list today. Nifty library game, tho not sure if the students will get into it: Lemontree at The University of Huddersfield: https://library.hud.ac.uk/lemontr...

I think the privacy section on the 'about' page might be slightly clearer about what kinds of information users will end up displaying to a) fellow participants and b) the world - but this looks fun, and the inter-departmental rivalry could actually make it work.

Wow, even the Canadian Librarian Association has a statement on the destruction of the OWS library. Unusual for them to comment on something like this. http://www.cla.ca/AM...

Duh. But I'm not sure if the belief in conspiracy theories is "increasing"...that has always been the case, just with a different medium.

Used http://www.polleverywhere.com/ for a class presentation yesterday. It worked fairly well, but the responses were pretty slow to load. Is this normal? Have others used it?
I've seen it used before and I think the bigger the audience the slower it is to load. If you've got around 30-50 people it loaded somewhat quickly
