LITA Publications

After ignoring Information Technology and Libraries (ITAL), one of the LITA publications, for years as too boring, I looked at the most recent issue and found it really useful. And it turns out that issues (2 issue embargo for non-members) are full text online. Worth a look.

File Delivery

There are several sources that help anyone deliver large documents over the Web. I blogged about it for the ITP Library Blog.
After posting the post, I needed to send a file to a student who couldn't receive the file otherwise. So I tried Sendthisfile.com and found it very workable.
Anyone else have a favorite?

Electronic Resources and Libraries Conference

This is the conference mentioned at our December meeting. According to the site, Electronic Resources & Libraries (ER&L) "provides a forum for information professionals to explore ideas, trends, and technologies related to electronic resources and digital services." Sounds like fun. The next one is to be held at UCLA in February of 2009.

NextSpace from OCLC

NextSpace, a magazine produced by OCLC, is worth browsing. The current issue is about Web 2.0 trends and other interesting topics.
