From Computerworld: ”Whew! There sure is a lot to digest with Google’s new Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS, officially unveiled in Hong Kong this week. The software, also known as Android 4.0, introduces the biggest changes we’ve seen to Android since the 2.0 releasethat launched with the original Motorola Droid. Make no mistake about it: Using Android is about to become a whole new experience.”

Instruction is often collaborative, which is why it’s nice to have collaboration tools like Dropbox (file syncing). Check out the options discussed in this article!

Since one of my colleagues serves on this committee, I hear about the Top 25 all year round…still, it’s impressive to see them all in one big list!

Rubrics: something that’s always slightly intimidated me. Seems pretty simple here, though!

Interesting perspective from Christina’s LIS Rant

Photo reblogged from Librarian Wardrobe
I’m Char Booth, Instruction Services Manager & E-Learning Librarian at the Claremont Colleges Library. I blog at info-mational & tweet @charbooth.
Packing for conferences is all about wise shoe choices, so I’m including a triptych of the four to five pairs that I’ll be bringing to New Orleans. Flips and boots are the other likely suspects.
To each its own function: topsiders for whatever, oxfords for presenting, disgusting Toms for running/spelunking.
To see the oxfords in action, you can catch me Friday the 24th at 9:30 keynoting the RUSA Preconference Strange Bedfellows: IT and Reference Collaborations to Enhance User Experiences, Sunday the 26th at 4 at the EQUACC Progress Panel, and hopefully (if I can swing it), at The Right to Read: Increasing Information Access for People with Print Disabilities Panel on Sunday the 26th from 1:30-3:30.
Happy conferencing, and don’t be afraid of heat/humidity: it’s a beautiful combination.
Wisdom from the inimitable Char Booth!

“A perfect guidebook to a robust open access research tool that allows the user to manage all aspects of bibliographic data, “Zotero: A Guide for Librarians, Researchers and Educators” is essential for librarians, classroom faculty and students alike.”—excerpt from the review
