Let's talk ebooks

Last night my coworker T. and I went to Denny's, where she was joyfully crowned mayor by Foursquare. Isn't that exciting? Well, kind of. Technically I'm mayor too because every time she's been there in the last month, I have been there and she has taken a picture of me and posted it on Foursquare. Almost as great as Baconalia itself.



In other, slightly less fried news: Amazon's Kindle will be "unlocked" later this year, allowing customers to download ebooks from library websites. There are a lot of questions still to be answered but this is a positive step forward for the e-resource industry!



Grad school looms tiny on the horizon but I know the closer I get to it the larger it will become. I work in AV and I really, really want to be an AV or e-resources librarian, which is partly due to the department Nook. It's kind of fascinating, the way the technology world is changing. Which means the publishing world is changing, and in turn the library world changes. My library system recently purged all their tapes while adding a ton of e-resources.

I know this is all really uninteresting but I can't help it! It's better than my talking about bacon for two paragraphs.

Oh yeah! Also--I received my first question on Formspring! How exciting. If you have a question for me, feel free to ask. Or email me. OR leave a comment. You know, whatever.
