Updates to the LIS Articles Page

I have added two very interesting pieces to the LIS Articles Page:

Toward an Index of All Stories: Previewing Small Demons Jason B. Jones of the Chronicle of Higher Education speaks well of the possibilities for this new service that allows readers to discover how stories might intertwine, influence and reflect on each other.

and

Tovin Lapan (Las Vegas Sun) reports on How Libraries Reinvent Themselves for the Digital Age.

I've also added sections to the page, to try and make it more navigable.  Sadly, I still can't get internal links to actually link.  I will solve this problem soon!  The sections are:

·  Perceptions: What Librarians Do

·  Literature and Language

·  Career Insights

·  New Technology, New Skills, Innovation and Adaptation

Libraries for Sustainability

Libraries for Sustainability Webinar Series 2012 - Exploring Sustainability Practices in Libraries April 24th 2012.

Call to Action and Collaboration Webinar Recording; Slides are available here

This webinar is coming up next week, and there are also links to access older webinars in the series.  I've also added information to my Resources page.

Here is the original post on LinkedIn:

Libraries for Sustainability Webinar Series 2012 - Exploring Sustainability Practices in Libraries

Libraries for Sustainability Webinar Series 2012 presents:

Exploring Sustainability Practices in Libraries

April 24, 2012, 2:00-3:00 (EST)

Please join us for the second webinar in this four-part series.

There are different types of sustainability practices in libraries (e.g. buildings, collection development, instruction, events, collaboration) and many of us are working, educating, and practicing in these areas. This webinar will be similar to a lightning round-up as librarians engaged in different types of sustainability efforts share their experiences and provide time for questions. Academic, public and school libraries will be represented. The session will be recorded so you can view it later.

SIGN UP NOW! (http://bit.ly/HbV7vq)

Webinar series facilitators: Madeleine Charney (UMass Amherst Libraries), Beth Filar Williams (UNC Greenboro), and Bonnie Smith (University of Florida Libraries).
