The Last Thing

Well, I've finished the last "Thing" of this series. This is the end. And, for at least the time being, the end of "Upnorthlibrarian." If you're interested, you can check out my other blog, "In a Chilly Place.".

"Chilly..." mostly focuses on a particular trend in modern life and libraries, neoliberalism, and how I see it affecting libraries in general. It's a little bit dated now, but I may return to blogging on these topics, too. See what you think and feel free to comment.

Thing 46. WebJunction Minnesota

I've used WebJunction a bit, and find it a great resource. Best yet, the price is great! (Free for Minnesota library employees.) I've had a few problems, though. For instance, I recently took a class on PowerPoint. After spending an hour or so on it, including the testing segments, I discovered none of the results had been recorded. Thus, WebJunction considered the course incomplete. I e'ed from the WJ website and got quick responses, but the suggestions weren't helpful. So, I guess I gotta do it again. Still, WebJunction is a terrific way to add to one's knowledge, whether the subject is libraries, technology, diversity training, you name it.
