My article on blogging and library students in the March 2006 InfoLink

I'm very excited about my newly published article in Simmons' College Graduate School of Library and Information Science newsletter, the InfoLink. Click here to check it out! Also, feel free to look up my Snapshot interview in the InfoLink archives from last month.


Co-writer Alison Cody and I had a great time writing this month's article and it turned out to be a very resourceful article for beginning bloggers. Alison and I, with the help of the GSLIS technology department, have some big plans for this upcoming summer. We will be editing a special edition of the InfoLink focusing specifically on Library 2.0, which will include an article reporting from Wikimania, being held here in Boston in August, as well as articles on social software, Web tagging, and more.

In addition to this project, I will also begin a larger, independent piece on prison libraries, which will include many of my photos.

And speaking of photos, I have begun a collaborative project on diversity with MassBLAST, a group at Simmons College dedicated to building library awareness and staff for the future, as well as reaching out to minority populations to fill these roles. It is a great opportunity to use my photography, my love of libraries, and my goals for outreach altogether in one project. Plus the high school students I'll be documenting are so great. Photos will be made available soon!
