Podcast competency

This purpose of this post is to provide a link to a podcast. I have enjoyed the short ones that have been used for class purposes. I have found one that is an interview with Karen Schneider whose blog is the Free Range Librarian. This is a long podcast, 40 minutes, but it discusses what Open Source Library software has to offer.

An very interesting concept for library automation.
My source for this was from Talking with Talis , http://talk.talis.com/ .

The link to Karen Schneider's blog is : http://freerangelibrarian.com/
She is a most interesting and entheusiastic person and is the Community Librarian at Equinox, the support and development company for Evergreen open-source library software.

Competency 2 - Related Blog

Using Google blog search I found this blog called Library Lines authored by Mary Rindfleisch, the assistant director at the Ridgefield Library in Ridgefield, CT :http://ridgefieldctlibrary.blogspot.com/2007/04/while-my-last-post-focused-on.html
In this blog Ms. Rindfleisch discusses many public library issues and current technology trends, such as web 2.0.
This blog pertains both to my kind of library and my topic.

The first post

This blog is created for Information Storage and Retrieval class at TWU. I'm not the world's most prolific writer or even a writer at all, but I will give it a shot and see how this goes.
The purpose of this blog is to demonstrate competency in this field of creating and maintaining a blog.
My type of library is public libraries and the field of interest is technology.
