Here is a sneak preview of the talk I am heading out to give at the New Hampshire Library Association conference today, otherwise known as “the reason I haven’t been posting much lately” It’s about CIPA and the USAPA, practical things libraries can do. Hope you enjoy it.
USAPA say what?
I’m giving a talk partially on the PATRIOT Act this week so forgive me if I’m a bit free and easy with these links. Apparently the US Government has started a website called Life and Liberty whose main purpose appears to be to defend the PATRIOT Act, slam the ACLU and — I am not kidding — talk trash about liberals. This will be my response to library patrons who ask why their tax dollars are going to books like Daddy’s Roomate… because my tax dollars go to crap like this. [unpatrioticact lj]
happy birthday to youuuuuuu
Crap. I forgot the PATRIOT Act’s birthday. In celebration, the Bill of Rights Defense Committee has sponsored a “Rename the PATRIOT Act” contest. Here are the winners.
hi
Hi. I am starting to make my ALA plans for San Diego. I’m staying with the fantabulous Laura Hudson who is able to use the words “radical” and “usability” together in a paper title. Fred from the Info Commons blog and I are planning some sort of bloggish get-together, leave a comment there if you’ll be there and would like to hang out.
