Greetings all!
With all the stuff going on with the library - 3 grants (yes, three!), new books, new intern, etc. etc. - I kept thinking I've needed to send out a Library Update. The problem was sitting down and getting it all written in one shot. So, here is one way of dealing with that . . . plus, now others get to add to it.
The "2.0" reference is of course to the wave of 2.0 tagged entities - web 2.0, library 2.0, museum 2.0 - to indicate a new level of social networking and collaboration by these entities.
We'll see how this works!

The IMLS grant period starts tomorrow. If you see me muttering under my breath or running around with a glazed expression, please understand.
The Art21 grant project is in full swing! Hope you all will mark your calendars for September 12 7pm here at the Mint for the Art21 screening and conversation in the Van Every. Carla and David Eisen will discuss the work of Kara Walker - her artist's book Freedom: a Fable from the collection is on exhibit - and the Art21 series segment to be screened is on Kara Walker. Many thanks to Kate Bailon-Chase and Kimberly Thomas for all their help with this!
Besides the event itself being a little different, our partner in the project is Everett Library of Queens University. More to come on this!
Well, here it is folks - the first post on this new blog. Let me know what you think!
