I emailed with Ann Kim at Library Journal who said that people can email in their Mover and Shaker nomination forms as long as it has all the same information they ask for on the pdf form. I have taken the text of this and put it online for people to copy and paste into an email message. So, if printing/faxing/mailing was keeping you from nominating someone to be a Library Journal Mover and Shaker, here is a solution for you.

It’s Mover and Shaker Time Again
Do you know someone who would look great gracing the pages of Library Journal for all the good library work they’ve been doing this year? Do they rock? Are you in awe of their librarian superpowers? If so, nominations are open for Movers & Shakers 2006. If you need to refresh your memory of who has already been selected, here are the winners for 2002 [there’s me!], 2003, 2004, 2005. Push the envelope and ask Library Journal if maybe we can submit nominations electronically this time. [thanks marylaine]
Call For Writers – library career topics
Priscilla Shontz is looking for people working in libraries and related fields to write short articles on what they do all day. She has a good line-up but is looking to fill a few more slots. Check the call for writers [posted via pasta, also available here] and see if you fit anywhere. I’ve written for Priscilla before and would gladly to it again.
dorky picture fun
New Jersey librarian Amy Kearns has started a Flickr group called Librarians Desks, share your own. Does anyone remember an older web site that had pictures of all the reference desks one librarian had worked at? Send me a link if you find it, this site is definitely the next step.
help a student out with a survey
Carlos Ovalle has created a survey asking about skills needed for people entering library school. Help him out with a few minutes of your time?
