I just discovered the blog of Marc Bousquet via The Chronicle of Higher Education. Bousquet is great on the corporatization of the academy, in the U.S. and abroad. Very exiting from a progressive librarian’s point of view to find information on his edited book, The Politics of Information, from Alt-X. …

The MLxperience
http://mlxperience.blogspot.comthere. I do enjoy viewing the conversations in the group view, easy to see what's being said via the nifty little drop down windows. Day 4: Ask a Question in a Blog Comment: Done. Day 5: Comment on a Blog Post You Don't Agree With: And boy was I out of my league! Day 6: Engage another Commenter in Discussion: Easily done since the conversation is here. I never know whether I'm supposed to 'comment back' or not! Day 7: Reflect on What You've Learned so Far:

Librarian
http://librarian.lishost.org“I don’t trust crowds, because I think crowd psychology leads to irrationality and violence, and turns otherwise suppressed fears and superstitions into mass action.”–Rory Litwin at Library Juice.

Week 8 Assignment
http://jflahiff.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/week-8-assignment/Is it time to call on universities, libraries and other public computing spaces to remove the Google Toolbar? I think so.” Annoyed Librarian entry “I was reminded of the value of privacy so many librarians claim to espouse while reading a post at Library Juice last week that had Rory Litwin engaging in a little revisionist history. From the LJ post: “The Council sessions of the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Seattle in January were interpreted by many as a defeat of the idea that Council should address

Libraries and Denial
http://www.questiontechnology.org/blog/2008/04/libraries-and...we want them to think words like “Future,” “Hi Tech,” “Information Age,” and “Shiny Gadget!” Fellow librarians, don’t even use the word Book!
