Handout: Local (Yukon) Union Resources
Last week, for the PSAC course I co-facilitated, I whipped up a one page handout with Local Union Resources (PDF) since there didn’t seem to be anything similar available. Check it out and let me know what you think!
I might not have the pit bull personality that the union needs for some things but [...]

I’ve never met Bill (William) Badke in person but we are both reference/instruction librarians in the same library consortium and both from relatively small academic libraries so I chat occasionally with him by email.

Ellyssa Kroski’s presentation on Drupal in Libraries at CIL2008
I’ve been using Drupal for about 5 months now for the site Northern Research Network and it’s been a great tool for us. It’s an awesome tool for creating and managing a community, but almost too powerful that it intimidates people. It shouldn’t, it’s actually quite easy to use and Ellyssa’s presentation does [...]

I’m feeling a little sheepish. I’ve been helping a colleague prepare to teach an Instructional Skills Workshop and since most of my helping has been as a sounding board, I’ve broken my rule and have been lending her books from my personal collection.
