NYART Workshop – Monday November 10th, 2008

Digital Asset Management and Institutional Repositories: Case Studies Addressing the Development and Implementation of Systems Date: Monday, November 10th, 2008 Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM Place: NYU Kimmel Center 60 Washington Square South, Room 405, New York, NY 10012 You can find resources to my presentation posted below including my keynote deck as a PDF here which includes my offbeat speech notes. I will say that its probably not fascinating reading compared to actually attending one of my talks. My deck style is a bit unconventional, it’s heavy on imagery and short on text. I am a big fan of Edward Tufte and I take his minimal stance when it comes to creating PowerPoint presentations. In fact I even prefer Keynote over PowerPoint all together. Here is a list of some of my go-to resources: Metadata Working Group, boxesandarrows, AIIM: Infonomics Magazine, AIIM: Blog, KMWorld, 37 Signals: Signal vs.… Read More »

A Librarian at the H.O.P.E (Hackers on Planet Earth) Conference

So, this weekend I attended my first hacker conference, “The Last H.O.P.E (Hackers on Planet Earth)” sponsored by 2600 Magazine. Featured con speakers were: Steven Levy, Kevin Mitnick, Jello Biafra, Steve Rambam and Adam Savage of MythBusters fame. Some of the sessions I did attend included: “Evil Interfaces: Violating the User”, “A Hacker’s View of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)”, “Hacking Democracy: An In Depth Analysis of the ES&S Voting Systems”, “One Last Time: The Hack/Phreak History Primer”, Wikipedia: You Will Never Find a More Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy”, “YouTomb – A Free Culture Hack” and all the featured speakers (except I very sadly missed Steven Levy, I loved that iPod book!). So what’s a librarian to make of all this? Well believe it or not, there is some common ground between the hacker community and us information science professionals. Chief among these are copyright (especially now… Read More »

UNC Library & Information Science Video Series

This is a series of lectures and interviews at UNC-Chapel Hill on topics related to information and library science and the use of information in learning and research. Permalink: UNC Information in Life Series on Youtube

About me:

Metadata and Taxonomies are my thing. I spend an awful lot of time drinking coffee and having existential dilemmas on how to categorize what the hell I do for a living.

Nerdy things I blog about for other nerdy nerds: metadata and taxonomies, Digital Asset Management and Content Management (DAM/CMS), technology transitions and business change, professional development, social media privacy, and usability for information retrieval.

Nutshell: I'm an ex-BMXer that now knows a helluva a lot about metadata and taxonomies and spends her idle time picking locks, lurking 7chan, playing competitive soccer, wishing she was in an impromptu music video, or teaching people to ride a Segway at HOPE. Yup, that's how I roll (literally).

Disclaimer: This is a personal weblog and does not represent the thoughts, intentions, plans or strategies of my employer (any of them). It is solely my opinion lame as you might think it is.
