The Liminal Librarian

While I'm talking about ITI in general, and Internet Librarian in particular, I want to mention a new fantastic resource for anyone who does (or might get sucked into doing!) technology training in their libraries. Stephanie Gerding's The Accidental Technology Trainer also debuts at Internet Librarian -- I'd love this book, even if I weren't her editor! I know I could have used this title when I was thrown into planning and teaching technology training classes way back when, and recommend it without reservation to anyone in a similar situation.

I'm heading to the Internet Librarian conference in beautiful Monterey next month, wearing my ITI consulting acquisitions editor hat. If you'll be there too, look me up!

You can find me at the ITI booth, where I'll be signing Information Tomorrow with a bunch of the chapter authors from 2:30-3:15 Tuesday during the no-conflict exhibit time.

You can e-mail me at rgordon@infotoday.com should you have a book idea, want to chat about the publishing process at ITI, or otherwise talk book publishing, meet up, have coffee.

Meredith Farkas is running a promotional contest for her new book, Social Software in Libraries: Building Collaboration, Communication, and Community Online. Check out the real cover, then try your hand at creating an alternative book cover for the title, and you could win your very own signed copy.

(It will be up on the Information Today web site soon soon soon, but meanwhile, check it out at Amazon.com.)

I'd think this was cool even if I weren't her editor!
