twitter lists or: i need to diversify my interests
twitter now lets you create lists of the tweeple you follow, which allows you to group together your friends. here’s a better explanation of twitter lists: http://mashable.com/2009/11/02/twitter-lists-guide/ i just checked out the number of lists i’m on and chuckled at the categories people have put me in. i think i need to diversify my interests!

is the IRB optional for library-related research?
I just browsed a peer-reviewed article about marketing a specific library resource and was surprised by what I read in the Assessment section. In that section the author noted that he developed a survey to gather feedback from students on the new resource, but since submitting it for approval to the university’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) would take about a month – longer than he wanted to wait – he skipped that step. He administered the survey via the library Web site, and when that didn’t produce enough responses he asked library student supervisors to request their student workers do the survey. I was surprised to read this because I was taught tha

culs-de-sac and librarianship
when i was 19 i had my palm read and was informed that i have a very short life line. i would die, the palm reader told me, “tragically young.” it’s no wonder, then, why i am the way i am; i have a lot to get done if i’m on my way out soon. a few years later when i was in grad school a professor wrote a letter of recommendation for me and noted that i didn’t fall prey to the many culs-de-sac in academia. i took that comment to heart and still replay it for myself when i find myself tempted to join in on the cause of the moment. i run through this little decision tree in my head:
