Episode 61 tonight
By Greg | October 29, 2008
Uncontrolled Vocabulary #61 records tonight at 10 PM Eastern. We’ll spend a large portion of the show discussing the recent Internet Librarian conference.
As part of the discussion, we’ll probably take a look at Aaron Schmidt’s tips for conference presenting and look at some of the other online reactions to the conference, both positive and negative. Whether you were there or not, feel free to join in the fun.
If time allows, we’ll move on to Char Booth’s proposed Library Student Bill of Rights and the librarian who was fined for promoting his daughter’s book.

Nope, not this week either
By Greg | October 22, 2008
Internet Librarian 2008 is proving to be too jam-packed for me to be able to organize anything for this week. So unless something spur-of-the-moment takes place, no recording. Next week, we’ll plan on spending at least part of the show talking about the experience here in Monterey.
No show this week
By Greg | October 13, 2008
In honor of the third US Presidential debate on Wednesday, which will run through our usual recording time, I am postponing the recording of episode 61. That’s the most concrete reason. There are others.
Next week is up in the air as well. I’ll be spending most of the week with my library peoples in Monterey. (Being away from my fam all next week was another good reason to not devote my time and energy to the show this week.) We might try to do something next Wednesday from Monterey. I’m going to play that by ear. If you’re going to be at Internet Librarian and would like to get together for a drink or a meal or somesuch, drop me a line.
