When we get new books for the reference section, they spend a couple of weeks on a book cart behind the reference desk so that we have a chance to look at them during our desk hours. The current selection includes the Whole Library Handbook 4 edited by George M. Eberhart. Whole Library Handbook 3 was one of the sources I used as I was contemplating library school to help me ascertain that this was a world I wanted to enter.

The newest edition has a glossary of blogging terms. "Biblioblogosphere" is there, not credited to anyone (according to my memory, it was coined by Karen Schneider, but I don't have time to do the research to confirm it). "Blog people" is there and is credited to Michael Gorman. Here's a new one to me:

Blogopotoamus. A very long blog article. Usage: "Paul
Marks has done another Blogopotamus on Samizdata.net."

To use it in a sentence: I wonder if I'll ever have time to write a Blogopotamus again.     #    (0) comments

The L-Team

I'm deeply immersed in English 101 library visits. I saw the March of the Librarians video mentioned on several blogs, but I thought I might get to be one of the first to link to the L-Team video. The creator of these productions, Nick Baker, is our dean's son--so there's a lot of home town pride in these videos around here.     #    (3) comments
