Graduation is Upon US!

Hey All you Pitt IMLS students,

Graduation is upon us. I don't know about the rest of you but I am in a mood to celebrate.
The tune in my head is Prince's New Power Generation:

Enjoy!

Nearing the Finish Line

For those in my Social Media Class please note the extra dimension the avatar provides. Rather than a static and text only interface I can program this "talking head" to provide any number of formal or non-formal greetings.

Those taking Social Media are nearing the finish line on our great journey together as a cohort, but I hope just beginning our professional association as Librarians.

My Virtual Book Shelf

booksEver wonder how many books you've read over the course of the years? Virtual book shelves are a good way to start keeping track. Here's a peek at mine.

Hello again,

I know it's been over a month but wonderful things take time. Be sure to click on the "Sudden Death" link. It will take you to one of my favorite pieces of music in the universe. More will be added as I come upon them.

Enjoy!

Back on the Road

Don't know if anyone is still using their school blog, or still tracking this one, but the focus here is about to change. An interest in digital media is driving the change and this blog will now become the workbench for such experiments.

The first attempt in the series will be the creation or inclusion of a 3D Avatar. Also, the inclusion of digital videos and sound files will be attempted.

More later.

Have not made an entry in this Blog for some time. So what's new? I would hire a professional company to write all my strategic Plans or grants. Such writing is an art that will take me more than one course session to master, but I am glad of the exposure.
