Another digital reference blog

How could I have missed another blog with a name just ever so slightly different from mine? The MINITEX Digital Reference blog has archived posts going back to July 2006. I wish I had been subscribing to the blog from its inception, as there's been a lot of good content published in the past year. I'm going to take a close look now at all the blog posts that offer detailed notes about each session from the Collaborative Virtual Reference Symposium that took place in July in Denver (please note that the links below may require you to scroll to get to the actual post):

• keynote address by Joe Janes


• Session 1: Side-by-Side Comparison of Collaborative VR Services


• Session 2: Funding and Sustainability: Managing Growth and Building Collaborations That Last


• Session 3: Should Virtual Reference Software Work?


• Session 4: Collaborative Virtual Reference Services from Around the Web: Marketing Virtual Reference Buy-in, Recruiting, and Collaboration


• Session 5: Instant Messaging: Considerations, and Compatibility with Collaborative Virtual Reference


• Session 6: What's Next in the Adventure: The Future of Collaborative Virtual Reference Services

Job opening at Baruch College

My library just posted an opening for an information services librarian position at the assistant, associate, or full professor level. As someone who's been here continuously since 1999 (first as a libray school intern, then as an adjunct, then an instructor, and now an assistant professor), I can attest to this being a great place to work, especially if you're interested in trying out new technologies and innovative services and how they can complement a strong commitment to teaching and information literacy.
