what makes you mad on the web?

Nov 5, ’08 6:55 PM


No one likes a complainer but it’s still sometimes fun to share pet peeves. Amanda Etches-Johnson and I were doing just that this afternoon and then decided to take it to twitter. You can find my web pet peeves at my twitter page (or on the sidebar of this site if you’re here and not in your feed reader). What’s more, you can see what gets other people riled up by searching twitter for #webpetpeeve. Tweet away, I’m all ears.

My former place of work is making some big changes. While the library has a very traditional appearance it isn’t afraid to slaughter the occasional sacred cow and try new things. I’m sure that ricklibrarian will give us some more updates once he finishes writing his Readers’ Advisory book but from what I know, they’re changing things to give more space to DVDs, audiobooks and teens. What’s leaving? Back issues of periodicals and a significant portion of the print reference collection. Rick is a dyed-in-the-wool-long-time reference librarian but recognizing the value in jettisoning no longer used items and procedures. Cheers to Rick, Anne and the TFML!
 
Also, I’ve gotta say that I always wanted to do something like this to the reference desk:
