I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be able to write a bit about what&#8217;s going on with the move and the job, but the longer posts will probably have to wait for September.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, here is a list of blogs and presentations you may be interested in checking out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/joy.mollprojects.com\/myblogs\/wanderings\">Wanderings of a Student Librarian<\/a> &#8211; She&#8217;s just started a series on how to be successful in library school.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/openstacks.net\/os\/\">Open Stacks<\/a> &#8211; Greg&#8217;s starting a Carnival of the Infosciences.  Interesting idea and I&#8217;ll be curious to see how it works out.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/scanblog.blogspot.com\/\">It&#8217;s all good<\/a> &#8211; a great blog by folks at OCLC.  Check out the recent series of posts on environmental scanning<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/libraryvoice.com\/\">Library Voice<\/a> &#8211; Chad is doing some really exciting stuff with wikis, blogs and IM at his library!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lessig.org\/blog\/\">Lessig Blog<\/a> &#8211; He&#8217;s had some interesting guest bloggers over the past few weeks and Jimmy Wales (of Wikipedia fame) is blogging right now.<\/li>\n<li>If you have the time to listen to a podcast, do <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metametadata.net\/neasist\/archives\/cat_podcasts.html\">listen to the ones at the NEASIST Conference<\/a> entitled <em>Syndicate, Aggregate, Communicate<\/em>.  Jenny Levine, Megan Fox, and Michael Stephens all gave great presentations, but Jenny&#8217;s was the one that really gave me the most food for thought.  Other conference materials (slides, bibs, etc.) and some interesting blog posts are also up on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metametadata.net\/neasist\/archives\/2005_05.html\">NEASIST Blog<\/a>.  With the podcasts and the slides, it&#8217;s almost like being there!  I know this conference happened over 2 months ago, but it&#8217;s still really worth giving a look\/listen.  They talk a lot about how new collaborative technologies can be used in libraries to develop online communities.  Great stuff!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As for me, I&#8217;m excited about listening to Richard Russo&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/073930691X\/qid=1123006897\/sr=8-4\/ref=pd_bbs_sbs_4\/102-4391640-1521737?v=glance&#038;s=books&#038;n=507846\"><em>Straight Man<\/em><\/a> and David Sedaris&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/0316777730\/qid=1123007055\/sr=1-4\/ref=sr_1_4\/102-4391640-1521737?v=glance&#038;s=books\"><em>Naked<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/0316776963\/qid=1123007014\/sr=8-3\/ref=pd_bbs_sbs_3\/102-4391640-1521737?v=glance&#038;s=books&#038;n=507846\"><em>Me Talk Pretty One Day<\/em><\/a> on the way to Vermont.  How did we do car trips before the days of audio books?  Adam and I have almost completely different tastes in music, so we&#8217;d have been at each other&#8217;s throats.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to everyone who&#8217;s filled out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s.asp?u=400521245752\">my survey<\/a> so far.  You rock!  I&#8217;m really impressed with how librarians practice what they preach as many of our colleagues have filled out the survey already.
