It’s official!

Last night was, finally, the official beginning of my term as a member of the Friends of the Columbus Library Board of Trustees. (There was a swearing in and everything..) It was an enlightening meeting, in terms of learning about the various ways the Friends work with the library and support the library. It should be an interest experience all the way around. As a member of the Communications committee, my first order of business is going to be getting involved in the formation of a Friends website, apart from the library’s website. Currently there is only a small section of the library’s site that details who the Friends are and what they do. That is going to change dramatically this year. Should be fun to try and develop that site into something informative and timely. Hopefully, over time, we can use it to build a sense of community among the members and increase their involvement in the organization and in the library! I’m glad I’ll be able to be involved right from the beginning and watch it grow!

    E-Discovery Round Table

    I found it interesting how much of this session was absolutely dominated by cost concerns. This is obviously a hot-button issue. That’s totally understandable. The cost of collecting, processing, searching and reviewing gigs and gigs of data is huge, and not only that, it’s a cost that you’re going to have to pass on to…

  • Rolling Stones and A Bad Taste from Training

    Last night, while hanging around the house with my wife, I had the soundtrack to the Rolling Stones concert/movie Shine a Light playing on my iPad. When the song She was Hot came on, I made the comment that this song got a bad rap back in the day. I recall hearing the song frequently…

    I’ve been mostly spending the long holiday weekend offline, with some Instagram exceptions as we enjoy some new Louisiana Christmas traditions. I hope ya’ll are enjoying your holiday as well and spending time with the people who are important to you. I’ll get back to posting to the blogs and other social media pages midweek….

    Facebook’s People You May Know

    A few weeks ago I mentioned that the Facebook feature for friend suggestions could use some improvements. Well, today was the first time recently that I went over to Facebook and noticed that they’ve made some changes to it. They made it worse. Now instead of suggesting people and telling you what friends you have…
