Hi. I changed some of the stylesheets around a bit to make visited links a little easier to read. No progress on archives yet, but I’m working on it.

Hi and Happy New Year! One of my resolutions is to get archiving and category sorting up and running for librarian.net this month. After I get back from ALA I will likely have my chance. Thanks for bearing with me.

Hi. I did a little email interview for BUST Magazine that will be coming out sometime soonish. Please come and see me at ALA in a few weeks if you’re going to be in San Diego. In the meantime, please carry your reference materials prominently no matter what the FBI might think.

Hi. I hope you had a wonderful holiday in whatever way you chose to celebrate it. Remember the days are just going to get longer and longer even as — in Vermont anyhow — the nights continue to get colder.

Hi. I have gotten many emails over the last week or so clearly in response to Nat Hentoff’s columns in the Village Voice which have recently been about ALA’s silence on the Cuban “independent librarian” issue. My basic response has been that ALA does nothing without consulting its members and the next chance to do that will be at the Midwinter meeting in the second week of January. ALA Council has been discussing the issue and I would not be surprised if there were a resolution passed about the issue. I think calling the ALA names because they are slow-moving and have not made this a top priority issue in a year that gave us CIPA and PATRIOT II may be a good way to get a lot of press but is not the most effective way of dealing with this extremely controversial issue.
