The increasingly grumpy thoughts of a black-belted librarian. Sunday, December 11, 2005. I just discovered a very interesting film project currently underway: The Hollywood librarian : librarians in cinema and society. Ann M Seidl. The website explains,. The Hollywood Librarian: Librarians in Cinema and Society. And It's a Wonderful Life. Show librarians as negative stereotypes. The librarians in Lorenzo's Oil. And The Shawshank Redemption. It should be interesting. I wonder if anyone other than libr...

SamuraiLibrarian: April 2007
http://samurailibrarian.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
The increasingly grumpy thoughts of a black-belted librarian. Saturday, April 21, 2007. Artificial Intelligence to Replace Librarians. First of all, what is this "Artificial Intelligence" and where can I get some? Seriously, I wonder how many people saw this:. Washington, D.C., March 30, 2007 - The Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate of the United States Library of Congress this morning announced a new initiative for its cataloging workflow. A senior administration official at the Library o...

The increasingly grumpy thoughts of a black-belted librarian. Thursday, June 26, 2008. I didn't know where to start. Today, however, I received a reply to an email I sent to my MP, Nina Grewal. Here's that email, followed by my reply:. Dear Mr. Vernon:. Thank you very much for your recent correspondence concerning Bill C-61. I have taken the liberty of forwarding your correspondence on to the Minister of Industry, the Hon. Jim Prentice, whose department is responsible for Bill C-61 and who can better...

SamuraiLibrarian: January 2006
http://samurailibrarian.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
The increasingly grumpy thoughts of a black-belted librarian. Thursday, January 19, 2006. More on Sam Bulte and other Pernicious Politicians. Further to my last post, check out this huge steamer. That Sam Bulte dropped. She's been caught lying and now she's threatening to sue Professor Michael Geist. Poor Sam. It's corruption like Bulte's that has brought the Liberal Party of Canada. To its knees- you can't tell me that the Liberals would be in this mess without the sponsorship scandal. And his merry ban...

SamuraiLibrarian: April 2006
http://samurailibrarian.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
The increasingly grumpy thoughts of a black-belted librarian. Friday, April 28, 2006. Recently I came across this library design. Might not be best for my community, I'd love to see what could be done where I live. In fact, there is a main library slated in my municipality's ten year plan- I hope it gets built, and I hope it's something special. Posted by Samurai Librarian at 11:11 AM. Thursday, April 27, 2006. It's been a while since I've done one of these, but sometimes my 47% geekyness. Librarians who...

SamuraiLibrarian: ETUG wrap up
http://samurailibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/05/etug-wrap-up.html
The increasingly grumpy thoughts of a black-belted librarian. Saturday, May 31, 2008. ETUG's over. All in all a very positive experience and the most grass-roots of 4 conferences I've attended in the last 4 months. Other sessions I didn't blog about were. Open source content: cultivating a culture of sharing our creativity with Chris Gratham. There was an interesting wiki for this session, but unfortunately the URL hasn't been added to the ETUG site.

The increasingly grumpy thoughts of a black-belted librarian. Tuesday, May 22, 2007. I Never Thought I'd Agree with Censorship, but. It seems likely that there'll be the usual railing against Harry Potter when the next and final volume appears appears on July 21st. When the calls for censorship come on the grounds of promotion of the supernatural, I hope someone calls for a ban on the bible for the same reason. Posted by Samurai Librarian at 10:14 AM. I'm a librarian. You've been warned.

SamuraiLibrarian: Underwhelmed by Overdrive
http://samurailibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/07/underwhelmed-by-overdrive.html
The increasingly grumpy thoughts of a black-belted librarian. Wednesday, July 02, 2008. Today I spent the better part of an hour trying to get OverDrive. To work. Here in BC, OverDrive has been branded as an extension of BC Libraries: Libraries without walls. And has been licensed by the consortium for all BC public Libraries by the provincial department responsible for libraries: Public Libraries Services Branch (PLSB). DRM is always a barrier to access and essentially breaks our devices, removing other...
