If you’re a librarian and you haven’t yet listened to Greg Schwartz’s new podcast Uncontrolled Vocabulary, zip on over to the site (see below) and listen to the first episode. Then sign up for the podcast.
Uncontrolled Vocabulary (UV) #1 featured Greg and several other librarians having a live discussion on various library issues from patron bathroom abuse to ALA reform. It reminded me of really fun and informative discussions I had back in my library school days and I appreciate the practioner perspective it provided. It’s working librarians talking about issues that touch most of them personally.
At this point in time, UV is open to anyone who wants to join in the conversation if they are willing to register for a TalkShoe account. Greg admits this isn’t an ideal solution, but the best one so far.
The show is intended to take place every Thursday at 10pm Eastern, 7pm Alaska Time. I’m going to try and make time to sign up with TalkShoe and at least listen live this Thursday if nothing else. I hope you’ll be listening, too. And talking, if you feel up to it.
This is another posting via Blogger’s “BlogThis.” I’ve decided that when I use this feature, I’ll put the link at the bottom with the words “source reference.” This is easier for me than trying to incorporate the link into a regular sentence, which causes weird underlining after the link.
