		<description><![CDATA[Is everyone ready for a vacation about now? I know I am. It is break week on campus and it is like a ghost town around here. On the one hand this means that I am able to get a lot of work done that gets shoved to the side during the academic quarter, but on the other hand it makes me even more anxious to be on vacation. Plus there are less than 3 weeks left in this year (and decade) which makes me feel like I should get about a dozen projects done both at the library and at home. So if you are like me, a feel the need to do something, then this is the post for you.  ...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=4733282&post=847&subd=thewakilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can't begin to describe how happy I am that it is Friday and the quarter here is just about over. The quarter has sped by and I can't believe that we are almost halfway through December already. This, of course, means that a lot of people are gearing up for travel over the next few weeks to visit family and friends for the holidays. It also means that educators are getting ready to both relax for a couple of weeks and also gear up for the next term. This post, as promised, continues in the traveling and technology vein of a previous post this week and also includes some fun and free resources for teaching. ...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=4733282&post=833&subd=thewakilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Wave is poised to be the next big thing to happen to online communication. Or at least that is how it is being marketed-- "email if email was created today." I think that it is like a lot of other collaborative, Web 2.0-like kind of tools in the fact that they are only fun and only really make sense if you can use them with other people. And since Google Wave is still in preview, it's a little difficult to fully exploit all the awesome potential. That was a really long way of saying that I have 10 Google Wave invites to hand out...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=4733282&post=835&subd=thewakilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you like to travel? I love traveling and am always excited when professional conferences are held some place interesting so I can combine some sightseeing with professional development. For example, I am completely looking forward to EBLIP6 in 2011 which is to be held in Salford, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. However, I'm a little less thrilled about being on a plane for the approximately 10 hours it will take to get there. 

Because the actual traveling part, at least for me, is less enjoyable than the "doing stuff when I actually get to where I'm going," I love any traveling tips or tricks that will help make the journey smoother. Therefore, as promised, here is a post filled with tips and suggestions for making your travel experiences, a little bit better--especially when dealing with airport wifi. Use them the next time you are traveling and bookmark them to give to patrons who you help them with questions about traveling. ...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=4733282&post=824&subd=thewakilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ hope everyone in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving and are now refreshed. I can hardly believe here at Cal State East Bay we are in the last week before final exams. The library is packed with students studying and finishing up final projects. Watching all the students work on projects reminded me of one type of project that is being undertaken by many libraries and archives--digitalization. ...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=4733282&post=819&subd=thewakilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm very sorry for the lack of posts the last couple of months. It has been an extremely crazy quarter--very busy and every time I think I'll have time to post, I get something else dumped on my plate. However, here is finally a post for this month and it is about a topic I feel is quite important: teaching and technology, or teaching with technology. As more and more classes go online and students expect technology to be used in their classes, instructors need to become not only competent, but innovative, in their uses of technology. So here are a few links to get your brain juices flowing....<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=4733282&post=808&subd=thewakilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think my current mood can be summed up by the quote by Don Marquis that says, "If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you. But if you really make them think, they'll hate you." Can we tell that it is the middle of the quarter here on campus? Sometimes it seems that thinking gets the short shrift on campus where frenetic movement and the appearance of busyness count more than actually taking the time to think and ponder before acting. I try to instill in my students, and those I help at the reference desk, the acknowledgement that thinking before action will ultimately save time in their school work and that this is a good idea to take out beyond the campus' boundaries too. ...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=4733282&post=803&subd=thewakilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy Blog Action Day! Yes, that's right, today is Blog Action Day and this year's topic is climate change. In addition to being bastions of free speech, kingdoms of information and houses of technology, libraries are also places that are part of the Green Movement. Many of the libraries that are being built or retrofitted are being built with sustainability, for the planet and the library, in mind. I think this is a great development and yet another way for libraries to help the communities they serve. So below are some of resources to find out more about green library design and other ways you can help the planet. Climate change is everyone's problem and therefore everyone can be part of the solution. ...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=4733282&post=794&subd=thewakilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, this week has been crazy and it is only Wednesday. So much to do, so much information to process and catalog, and so little time! So this problem got me thinking about findability. Don't you think that part of the reason for information overload is not just that there is so much information out there, but that there it is also difficult to organize all the information so you can actually find it again when you need it? I do. So here are some really interesting bits of news and tools to help you control the information you have in your life. ...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=4733282&post=781&subd=thewakilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
