Twitter in Library School
15/02/2011 § 22 Comments
Last semester I took the class, User Instruction, as an elective. For our final assignment we had to create a 15 minute tutorial on anything library-related for any type of audience. Since over the last 6 months or so I have had a love affair with Twitter, especially since it is where I learned about Hack Lib School Project, I figured I would try to share my experiences with my fellow students; they would be my audience for the tutorial.
I started off my presentation asking for a show of hands of students who had Twitter accounts. About a quarter of the audience raised hands. When asked how many actually used those accounts only a handful of hands remained raised. We talked briefly about why they didn't use it. Most said they didn't see the point. That there wasn't anything they could actually get out of it. My goal was to change their minds.
Here is my presentation. It is rather screen shot heavy but I wanted to give a quick overview of the application before I went to use it live (and in case for some reason the internet connection was down). Also, the examples I give of librarians to follow just barely skim the surface. I just wanted to give people an idea of the library universe on Twitter.
After the presentation I was shocked by how positive the reaction was from my fellow students. Many had no idea about how many librarians were on Twitter and about how hastags were used to find people with common interests. I had several students come up to me afterwards to let me know that they would be setting up a Twitter account to connect with other librarians and to follow conferences. Success!
But what do you think about Twitter? Do you use it? [would guess many of you do as that may be how you found this blog] Personally? Professionally? Some of both?
Do you talk about social media in your classes? Should it be a part of the LIS curriculum? In which way?

Awesome presentation Nicole! I am a more recent Twitter user myself, but I've used it to connect with other library school students around the country, as well a library school students and professionals in my geographic area. I think it's a great tool for networking both socially and professionally.

What a great presentation!
I've had a Twitter account for about a year and a half and initially signed up so no one else could have my preferred handle. Then last summer, I started looking for other librarians (I was making it up on my own about how to use Twitter in a way that was meaningful to me). Within a short time, I found myself obsessed and have been sorely tempted to replace my RSS feed and rely on just Twitter instead. The crowd will tweet and retweet the most engaging articles, right?
Since then, I have become a mini-force in my classes as I actively go, "Oh, yeah, I heard about XYZ on Twitter some time ago…" Then on Sunday, I was putting my capstone website together and realized that since October 2009, I've actually had direct communication with the authors listed on my wiki. Where did I talk to them? Twitter.
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by erijens and Diane Kauppi, Nicole . Nicole said: New post @hacklibschool: Twitter in Library School: http://t.co/NHgJRaD – how do you use Twitter? #hacklibschool #libraryschool [...]
I hesitantly joined Twitter when I attended ALA 2010, much to my surprise were how many other librarians I was able to connect with. Initially I thought of it as a real time way to let folks know "hey rm 11 is standing room only" at conferences, but lately I am getting more involved and really connecting with folks in the trenches. I wish I had started using twitter at the beginning of library school!
I never thought twitter would be at all useful until I took a web 2.0 class that forced us to make twitter accounts. She gave us a pre-packaged list of librarians to follow, and I quickly expanded the list to include fellow students and librarians. I was really pleased at how much more connected to the library world I felt. Being in online school can make it difficult to form professional connections, but twitter really does facilitate these connections. I'm also always pleased when a family member is watching the news and tells me about what's going on in Egypt and I say, "I know." and they ask, "How did you know, I just heard it right now?" and I can answer, "Oh, it's been all over twitter for hours."
Something must be in the water, because I just wrote a blog post about twitter today, too: http://bit.ly/fw96HO
I've only had my account for a week, and so far I love it. Unlike Facebook, I don't feel like I'm over-sharing with my constant posting of links, because that's exactly what twitter is there for. And it's been great to connect with like minded people, and see what information they are sharing.
I think twitter is especially helpful in terms of professional development. Not only to connect with others, but more so to keep track of what the new technological trends are.
Some of my favorite tweets come from libraries, making me realize that twitter is an awesome tool to market your services. For example, I just learned that my public library is going to start offering 3 free music downloads a week for card holders.
After years of staying away from twitter, I am now hooked…
Awesome Post! I am new to Twitter so I haven't got the hang of it just yet, but your slides were extremely helpful and a little lightbulb went off!
@LibrarianJuJu -
No worries, Judith. I think a lot of us are in the same new-to-Twitter boat.
I tried out Twitter a while ago right when it was just becoming popular, but at the time I viewed it primarily as just another social network site a la facebook or myspace, so since most of my friends hadn't yet joined up, I got bored and deleted my account.
I got back into it somewhat reluctantly, but I'm realizing more and more what an incredible resource it is not just for LIS but for breaking news, networking, and even just funny one-liners. I'm definitely looking forward to connecting with all the HLS folk, and seeing what else happens via Twitter!

High blood pressure is abnormally high blood pressure with no known cause. Blood pressure measurements are read as two numbers:

Your doctor will recommend monitoring and lifestyle changes.
High blood pressure puts stress on the heart, lungs, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels. Over time, this condition can damage these organs and tissues.

Occasionally, if blood pressure reaches extreme levels, you may have the following:
High blood pressure is often diagnosed during a doctor's visit. Blood pressure is measured using an arm cuff and a special device. If your reading is high, you will come back for repeat checks. If you have three visits with readings over 140/90 mmHG, you will be diagnosed with high blood pressure.
Your doctor will order tests to make sure your high blood pressure is not caused by another condition. You will also be tested to see if the high blood pressure has caused any problems.

This is a high quality product but is tight (not much space for easily placing baby in/taking baby out of seat) especially for the age group/size baby that could take advantage of the product. Do not believe that product will be useful for very long.

Terry Hough:
No idea. My daughter-in-law wanted it for my grandaughter so I got it for her for Christmas. Sorry I could not help.
Debbie Shamlin:
Not sure how to answer the weight limit, but they say it is recommended for 3 months to 3 year old children. We have very pleased with our chair we purchased for our granddaughters hitch is 8 months old and approximately 18 lbs. We have used it for her in our home and have also taken it to restaurants which was great !
The packaging and the website only say for children up to three years old.
Pam Tipton:
website says 100 lbs and/or 3 years old. It is a great and very durable high-chair. My grandkids use it all the time. I was very pleased with the purchase.
Anonymous asked:
I would love to buy this portable highchair as a gift, but I worry about it's safety. I would like to know if babies are truly secure and safe. Are there places on this chair where a baby could get pinched? Also, very important, I'd like to know if the materials in this chair contain toxins and/or toxic fumes.
Thanks very much.
Thanks very much.
Cindy Brzymialkiewidz:
This chair is very safe. The only problem that I had with it was it runs small. It's a little tight fit getting them in and out of the chair. Nothing toxic or any place to get pinched. Great chair for on the go!
Cindy Ireland:
I love this chair, Toxic? I don't think so.
Beverly Lang:
I have purchased 5 of these chairs for baby gifts , and they all received a thumbs up after using them, the legs lock into place so there is no place for pinching. They are great on vacation and traveling and just taking to family gatherings, you will always have a clean place for your child no matter where you go.
Anna Harris:
this is a great portable chair, its like a portable beach chair but for babies. I bought 2, one for my daughter and one for my niece. We took them on vacation, and I kept mine in the car for those unexpected events. Once the chair "clamp" are pushed down, the baby sitting in it can not get to it. The actual material is nylon/vinyl that is easy to clean. I believe it is BPA free ( flyer fell out of carrying case) As with any chairs, please keep an eye out for babies in it. A child can tip it over if they are trying to climb out. But overall a great chair!

Look out of the window the next time you travel by road or by train anywhere in India. Hit a human settlement, and you will see, heaps of plastic coloured garbage apart, pools of dirty black water and drains that go nowhere. They go nowhere because we have forgotten a basic fact: if there are humans, there will be excreta. Indeed, we have also forgotten another truth about the so-called modern world: if there is water use, there will be waste. Roughly 80 per cent of the water that reaches households flows out as waste.
Did the Nobel Prize committee make a mistake when it gave the 2007 Peace Prize to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former us vice president Al Gore? I wonder. My disquiet is not because the prize recognized and put climate change at the centre of global debate. It stems from the fact that the Nobel Prize has held up, as champions, an organisation and individuals that are cautious, conservative and play strictly by the book when searching for answers to tackling climate change. There is nothing wrong in being so.
My colleague Pradip Saha has been filming in Ghoramara, an island in the Sunderban delta, to understand why, in this zone suspended between land and water, people talk of nothing but subsidence. Savita's narration captures the mood. Two years ago, rising water tore into this housewife's life, taking away her land, source of livelihood and her dignity. She wasn't compensated. She then moved further landward, paying a landowner to build another home. But now the water's grasping at her tiny house again: she shows the camera deep gashes in the ground just outside.
India has added two more swanky symbols to bolster its first-world ambitions: the Rajiv Gandhi international airport in Hyderabad and the gleaming Bengaluru international airport in our software capital. But look beneath this glitzy façade and you will find another instance of development on the cheap. We refuse to admit that our dream of world-class infrastructure is not grounded on the hard reality that we are a rich and poor country at the same time. As a result, we do not think differently and plan for solutions that suit our needs.
The 2008 Union budget must be remembered. Not because it heralds an early election, but because it comes at a time when the world is battling four different but inter-linked developments. First, there is the impending us recession, which is already causing our financial markets to tumble. Second, crude oil price—this week, it has reached a record high of over us $100 a barrel, astoundingly up from us $35 a barrel just a few years ago.
It was the mid-1980s. Environmentalist Anil Agarwal was on a mission: track down the person who had conceptualized the employment guarantee scheme in Maharashtra. His search—I tagged along—led him to a dusty, file-filled office in the secretariat. There we met V S Page. I remember a diminutive, soft-spoken man who explained to us why in 1972, when the state was hit with crippling drought and mass migration, it worked on a scheme under which professionals working in cities would pay for employment in villages.
Every chair of the community hall of the Shree Shantadurga temple in South Goa's Quepem taluka was taken. In a few minutes, the public hearing for Shakti bauxite mines was to begin. Then there arose a whisper: the temple had objected to the hearing being held in their premises; it was being called off. It was the second time the hearing was convened and this time, too, the villagers told us, the 30-day notice rule had been violated.
Last fortnight, when the world's richest Indian Lakshmi Mittal visited Kolkata, the city of his youth, he was thrilled to see change. Mittal told the media that the biggest difference he saw was the many flyovers dotting the city skyline and "disciplined traffic". This is great progress, he told journalists, who promptly reported that the tycoon had given the city's road and traffic management a big thumbs up. I was also in Kolkata that day. But all I could see was lines and lines of traffic, belching black smoke, honking madly.
From the highway the gravestones were visible. Thirteen headstones, rough and blunt, carved with names of each dead tribal. Each stone was placed so that together they formed a semi-circle looking down at us. In front of the 13-stone platform was a fenced area with scattered burnt sticks lying as if for the picking. I realized I was looking at a cremation ground. I also realized in shock that this must have been the place where the tribals killed in police firing were consecrated to fire and that the place has been left intact as a grim reminder.
The Bali conference on climate change is over. But the fight against climate change has only just begun. The message from Bali is the fight will be downright brutal and selfish. Let us cut through the histrionics of the Bali conference to understand that as far as an agreement is concerned, the world has not moved an inch from where it stood on climate some 17 years ago, when negotiations began. The only difference is that emissions have increased; climate change is at dangerous levels. Only if we drastically cut emissions, will we succeed in avoiding a full-blown catastrophe.

In Boston, the average age is 30, thanks to the large number of students. This means that Boston cannot be anything other than a lively city.
Boston is one of the oldest cities in America, a cultural melting pot and a true university town. One of Boston's attractions is its friendly "village" atmosphere, even though it is a big cosmopolitan city. The most important sights are to be found along the Freedom Trail. You certainly won't want to miss Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, Old North Church and Paul Revere House.
Boston's cultural attractions include one of America's leading orchestras, the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Another attraction is the Museum of Fine Arts and the JF Kennedy Library is the place to be for Kennedy fans. On the other bank of the river, there is Cambridge, which is actually a different city, but is certainly worth a visit because of its cafés, bookshops, galleries and its fascinating entertainment facilities.

"As they say in Belize, you'll have an Un-Belize-Able Time!!!"
Reviewed July 7, 2012
We had a truly wonderful experience in Belize during mid June of 2012. My wife and I (30's) booked a 3 day, 4 night trip to Belize with Orchid Garden being the only place we were going to stay. Our experience started off with very prompt and clear responses from Jason, the owner of Orchid Gardens. He allowed us to completely customize our trip, choosing a base package and swapping out and adding on different excursions. While we were in shock of the great deal we received on our package, our excitement grew as our arrival date came closer. We received an excellent PDF with tips from Jason outlining what to expect, how to dress, temperature expectations, what the bring, the works!
Finally it was arrival day and we landed in the Belize Airport, retrieved our luggage and Alfredo was already waiting there with a huge sign to welcome us. He was extremely polite and as we saw other groups heading into vans to travel back to their hotel, I noticed Alfredos van was one of the nicest on the lot (as far as I could tell)! As we made our way back to the hotel, Alfredo began to spread his knowledge of this beautiful country and I grew thirsty for more. We stopped at the grocery store and headed to the hotel to find out we truly did have the place to ourselves and no one would be checking in until our departure day! We checked into our room and I was immediately impressed with the size of the room, complete with two desk areas, two padded chairs, a king bed and a buffet style table. One thing I wondered before I left was if each room had its own bathroom or not, so you know, you do have your own bathroom with tiled walls and a shower with nice warm water and a decent sprayer. It was very clean and I felt right at home. Then we met Christine, Jason's wife, who (with staff) prepared true culinary masterpieces. Every meal I was excited to see and taste what kind of edible artwork she had crafted for us. The food was exquisite and I loved the fact that there was no menu. Christine did present what we would be having for the next meal during the previous so you could make adjustments accordingly. My favorite was the fresh lobster tails they retrieved from the city, so good! The Wi-Fi was down during our stay, but the laptop in the media room/lounge was connected to the internet so I could check in on Facebook and email my family and friends.
Alvaro took us to the zoo and I was amazed at all of his knowledge and the personal experiences he shared as they related to what we were seeing. Let me jump really quick and say I was extremely impressed that our hotel guides (Alvaro and Alfredo) came with us on every excursion. Alvaro walked us through the zoo and explained different things, and Alfredo came with us on the river cruise and tour of Lamanai (quick tip, its pronounced La-Ma-Nai-EEN (but I'll let them tell you why :). No other couples we met on the tours had this service. The second day we switched things up due to the weather. It was the rainy season there, however it was just supposed to have started and it had started three weeks earlier. What a blessing! During the dry season it gets up to 110 but we were sitting around 89. It never rained, where we were, except for a 5-10 min sprinkle (which was so welcomed). We did the river cruise and tour of Lamanai. On the river cruise, Juanita the monkey jumped out of the trees, came onto the boat and sat on my lap for pictures. It was priceless and a truly unforgettable experience. The ruins were gorgeous and our boat guide took us through all of the different ruins with detailed explanations. (Make sure you take the river cruise!).
The next day we went jungle horseback riding and learned a ton about how the Mayans use SO many things from the jungle to cure different ailments. Alvaro drove us to the stables and the horseback guide took us through the jungle pointing out all of the different plants and wildlife and how they are used by Mayans. Then we headed over to river cave tubing. Alvaro talked the guide into taking us further up the river (farther than the normal tour goes). We spent the afternoon floating down the river with our guide educating us further on Mayan culture and the history of the three cave system we were going to see. Our guide was awesome here, younger and funny, we laughed and traded stories the whole time. He also took the time to stop and show us different plants along the way, watched him eat termites, it was great and none of the other groups were getting this kind of service. One part of the cave is completely pitch black, and we turned off our headlamps and floating in complete darkness (cannot see hand in front of face), with only the sound of falling water and the squeaking of fruit bats to accompany you. It was a great excursion, there was also some stopping for swimming and rock jumping.
When we got back we met Alfredo again for the Eco-tour. We walked all around the entire hotel, which used to be a college, while Alfredo told us everything about the history of Belize, to the reclaiming process they used to build the hotel, to everything about every single plant or animal we saw along the way. I loved the fact that you constantly had to look down at the ground to avoid geckos and iguanas scattering about. The iguana sanctuary was awesome, and we saw multiple iguanas over 3 feel long gathering near the water. Christine and Jason have even opened the first floor of their home to the guests and has an entire museum of artifacts from Belize. The next morning we got up early with Alfredo again and went bird watching which was neat and very informative. Alfredo and Alvaro could have their own shows on the Discovery channel, I was so impressed with the sheer amount of knowledge they shared with us.
We were sad to leave Orchid Garden, but for those who are looking for a place to call home while you're there, I HIGHLY recommend Orchid Garden Eco-Village. The staff really went out of their way to make us feel welcome and taken care of, the facility itself was a piece of artwork, being made from reclaimed materials. If you are looking for a luxurious hotel to lay on the deck and swim in a pool all day, this may not be for you. But for those looking to truly experience all Belize has to offer, lodging at Orchid Garden Eco-Village will ensure a plethora of pleasurable and truly unforgettable memories.

7 foot tall skeletons discovered in Pennsylvania
Posted 29 July 2009 - 08:33 AM

The bones disappeared after being sent to the museum.
I love stories like this, but given the date of the find, and the disappearance of all the evidence, I gotta call hoax on this one.

I absolutely did not mean that you were the hoaxer here! Sorry if I was not clear enough on that! I am glad you posted this.
What I meant was that newspapers of the day sometimes made up facts or even whole stories just to fill space, or for fun.
Another problem is that no articles are known to exist that date back to 1880. I believe the earliest known appearance of this story in print is 1916 or something like that. There is ample oppurtunity for inaccuracies and falsehoods to creep in to the story, assuming it ever happened at all. Tall tales usually improve with age.
Yet another possible giveaway is the disappearance of the bones. It is highly indicative of a hoax. People are sometimes innitially taken in, and then discover that they were fooled and decide to destroy the evidence rather than be embarrassed by their mistake. Also the hoaxer may decide that he/she may be in trouble if discovered and so they destroy the evidence to protect themselves from punishment.
The biggest nail in the coffin of this story is that there is not now, nor at any time in the past an "American Investigating Museum" in Philly. It's a made-up name. Why should we believe a story about giants, when such a mundane detail as the name of a museum is demonstrably fictitious?

I've been unable to find anything about the so-called "American Investigating Museum" unrelated to this topic, but one of the investigators mentioned, W. K. Moorehead (1866-1939), was a prominent archeologist of the early 20th century and was in fact a faculty member at Phillips Academy. However, I've not been able to find what year the skeletons were discovered at the Sayre burial mounds, only that they were discovered "in the 1880s".
If they were discovered in the 1880s, Moorehead would have been between 13 and 23 years of age during this time period. Since he didn't graduate from Dension University in Granville, OH, until 1886, he probably would have been too young to be a faculty member at Phillips Academy during this time, though he could have been doing postgraduate studies. The question still remains as to why the school would have sent a student on an investigation of such importance. Most of his published works I found from his tenure at Phillips Academy were from the 1920's and 1930's. I suspect that someone conveniently used his name to add credibility to the story without checking the facts - IMHO, of course!
Phillips Academy still exists in Andover, MA as a coed boarding high school and uses the the Robert S. Peabody Museum of Archaeology where Moorehead was curator as an educational resource for teaching archaeology.
So far, I've been unable to find any legitimate biography connecting Warren King Moorehead to the discovery of giant horned skeletons in Sayre, PA.
For those that are interested, here's a link to other reported cases of giants in the U.S:

BTW - Alanson "A.B." Skinner, the other archeologist listed as being part of the Sayre burial mound investigation team, was born in 1884, so at the latest he would have been five years old if the bones were uncovered in the 1880s. So why the disparity? It may be because the event in question didn't happen in the 1880s, but the year 1916 when both Moorehead and Skinner were established archeologists
According to Skinner, the stories of the horned skull giant started after an excavation near Athens, PA uncovered an Indian burial ground containing the skeletons of 57 individuals. Of the 57 skeletons, one of them was covered in a pile of deer antlers. This, he believed, was the basis of the rumor that that the team had uncovered a skull with horns on it.
