Please note: having started out swimmingly by posting manager’s notes soon after our the November 2011 meeting where we promised to routinely post notes — mea culpa — I promptly forgot to add this to my list of weekly tasks. So, following this will be posts containing notes through our April 2012 meeting, at which point I’ll be caught up and can be more timely with this in the future. Thanks for your tolerance. More
On Tuesday May 31st we’re going to change the categories on this blog, so if by any chance you’re using a feed of a specific category, that’s going to break. We suggest subscribing to the whole blog for maximum enjoyment! If you’re not a LIS staff member & would like to filter out the more staff related posts, you can subscribe to the new “Middlebury Community Interest” category after May 31st. The other categories will be “LIS Staff Interest”, and “Post for MiddPoints” which will cause the post to be added to the MiddPoints blog too. All the old categories except “The Essentials” will be converted to tags for easy searching.
The LIS Web team developed this new scheme, following recommendations that came out of the open meeting about the future of the LIS Blog (including a call for simplified categories). The AD Team reviewed and approved these changes. We welcome your comments.
