The Library 2.0 Gang

I’m very pleased to tell you that I’ve been invited by Talis to join their new, regularly scheduled Library 2.0 Gang podcast program. For those of you who want to hear more of my thoughts, they’ll now be available not only in this Blog, but through my participation in the Talis Podcasts which I’ll also load on the CARE website as they become available.

This is an offer I found quite flattering. I have the greatest respect for TALIS and their team. They do some very interesting things for the profession and their podcasts are certainly among those things. To be offered a regular slot as a participant is, I hope, an indication that they believe my perspective offers listeners real value and/or interest. I’ve always tried to be straightforward and educational in my approach to these opportunities and I’ll hope this opportunity represents verification that this is an appreciated approach.

I haven’t yet heard who the other regular participants will be, but if they’re of the same quality as those in the last Library 2.0 Gang podcast I participated in, this should be a lively, interesting and at times, controversial set of podcasts. The topics will apparently cover wide range, with the first being on open source topics covered at the recent COD4LIB conference in Portland. I was at SUN Worldwide Education and Research Conference (if you want an invite to join this community, contact me) that week, but I look forward to discussing this topic and the others that will follow.

Please remember, that both this blog and these podcasts are at their best when you provide feedback. They are intended to be the start of a dialog, not the end. So listen in and join in by sending me, or the other participants, your thoughts and comments. We’ll look forward to hearing from you.
