EMILY RIMLAND: October 2007 Archives
Here it is folks--the Facebook White Paper! I love this little package..it packs a lot of punch in a doc all about Facebook apps. And, from what I can tell, there's not a whole lot of things like this out there. That's right, it's going everywhere.
Big thanks to our friends at ETS: Cole Camplese, Brad Kozlek, Chris Stubbs, Yvonne Clark for folding us into the project and being great collaborators and also to our own Binky Lush for all her hard work on this. You rock!
In the time since the application came out and now the white paper, I'm really excited about where this and projects like it might lead. I've been trying to think of where there are other iterations of our CAT aside from cat.libraries.psu.edu. The only other instance I can think of is our widgets that Binky created for us to use in different places like iGoogle, my sidebar here, and for being the building blocks of our new Research Jumpstart page.
To me, there's something really cool about that--creating new instances of the CAT...a librarian's way of spreading the love.
I already love IMAP...I think it will be a life changer...or at least a life conveniencer. If you're curious about it, ask me! Big thanks to Andy C. & Nikki for hooking me up!
Working on a new layout ovah here...please bear with me...don't know why the sidebar has become the bottom bar....
Ooo baby...September nearly did me in. I'm finally resurfacing a little. I borrowed this entry's title from one of my colleagues, Henry Pisciotta...I think it perfectly describes this month in our environment. Between the start of classes, Open House, teaching, conference planning, outreach initiatives, etc., I feel exactly that--CRUSHED. October is going to prove equally challenging.
Between that stuff referenced above, I haven't had much time for my poor little blog or much musing. I hope that events at the PaLA conference this month will help me in that department--I'm attending sessions by Stephen Abram, Lee Rainie, Ishmael Beah, and others. Plus I get to see folks from library school and other places, so I'm def excited.
Finally, I'll get to see the fruits of 9 months of planning as the PaLA Store opens its doors (I've co-chaired this committee), not to mention that this conference has the honor of being hosted in State College for the first time ever! I think it's going to be great!
