WOW! and she is a crafter too....

I just watched this funny presentation by Erin McKean about words....she is a dictionary editor, a blogger, a mom AND a sewer! The presentation is funny (traffic cop v. fisherman) but long, so feel free to SKIP IT!

I have been trying to remake my presentations for library instruction this week and love how she did her talk--no words, only pictures, and lots of humor. This may not crossover to "How to use the library" directly, but I am going to try.

I have also been thinking about blended librarianship, about instruction and web and new tech as it applies to library work. AND about how libraries and librarians have a bad reputation, just like dictionaries. How can we continue to change that? Don't make me shush you!

Shoot - can't seem to get the video to play on your blog. If you've got a direct link to it somewhere else, that might help....
