Another Librarian, Another Blog

From LaborBlog to Digital Library Sphere

After a year of tapping around in RadioUserland and creating a labor-based Blog called "LaborBlog, I'm getting started with Blogger (http://radio.weblogs.com/0126851). I'm going to focus on the much-travelled topics of digital libraries, organizational change and user behavior. I work in a research institue at UC Berkeley that is devoted to doctoral level study of industrial and labor relations, so I have somewhat of an insider's view on management issues, speaking as a librarian. I'm calling this Blog "Digita Library Sphere" because I plan to extend the thoughts I pen in my syndicated column "Building Digital Libraries," which is published in Computers in Libraries magazine (http://www.infotoday.com)

I am the 2004-2005 President of the Librarians Association of the University of California (LAUC), which is a statewide parliamentary academic body with a formal charge to advise the University of California with respect to library affairs (http://www.ucop.edu/lauc).

I will look forward to building this Blog. Terry Huwe
