“As librarians, we have to smell twice as good.” more loveliness from the now-more-rural well dressed librarian.

redesign and anniversary for Constant Reader
The Constant Reader is four years old this week.
something you don’t see every day in the world of library weblogs
SHUSH: a website for the conservative librarian.
Current stands that S* has taken include Pro-Patriot Act, Pro-CIPA, Anti-MLS/Pro-BS, and anti-privacy-of-minors.
a few more blogs I’ll be watching, and a note or two about RSS
The Curmudgeony Librarian and the Kept-Up Academic Librarian are being added to my more-frequently-read list. One thing I haven’t seen people mention lately about the benefit of reading content via RSS+aggregators is that it lets you skim. Now maybe this sounds crass, but I can access more content more quickly and filter out what interests me in order to give it a closer look, if I’m not doing the point-click-wait tango of getting 20 different web pages to load and render.
del.icio.us/jessamyn
Another tool that alll those chatty blogging librarians seem to be checking out lately is del.icio.us, a bookmarking tool that is striking for its simplicity, ability to share lists and [best of all] an ability to create your own authority control structures via a keywording system that becomes a set of hotlinked categories. I’m mostly using it presently for my “to add” list of links for librarian.net, and because I enjoy the URL del.icio.us/jessamyn.
