A look at how I identified the key Stakeholders in our library website redesign project.
My thoughts on emerging technologies, the social web, libraries, research tools, and tech culture.

My last post, about the Digital History Guide I am building for a Public History class, has sparked a few Tweets and emails asking me about Pollak Library’s research guide solution. Pollak Library launched a new content management system and subject guide solution just this semester, which is live, but still kind of in [...]

So, I know that I am probably overextending my social media self, but from here on out, my “personal” posts (about family, the wedding, my hikes, etc.) can be found on Greene Adventures, a brand new family blog that Jeff and I launched today to coincide with the one-month countdown to our wedding.

Today’s the official launch of my redesigned blog! I’ve spent the past week or so migrating my site from a Drupal (v.5) platform to a WordPress (v.2.7) one.

I am a big fan and user of the Drupal content management system, so I get a lot of friends and colleagues who ask me for advise about learning it. When my advise is sought, I am always eager to share my enthusiasm for Drupal, but I am equally honest about how difficult the learning [...]
It’s been over two months since my last post, but I’m back… I’ve tried to use my lay-off time to catch up on some sorely neglected web projects, and brush up on some of the skills used to make these projects happen. The first project completed was a brand new web site for my church, [...]
I watched a really nice webcast this morning about Drupal, offered by O’Reilly Media. Titled “Everything You Wanted to Know about Drupal but were Afraid to Ask,” the webcast had an audience of over 300, from around the world, ranging from total novices to seasoned programmers and developers. Much of the webcast focused on intro [...]
