Updates to CLS CE Calendar and Chicago Area Librarian's Calendar: The CLS CE Calendar and the Chicago Area Librarian's Calendar have been updated.  Highlights of what this fall have to offer include Saul Amdursky speaking on how his library became the LJ Gale Library of the Year 2002, Patricia Wagner on "How to Stay Employed in the 21st Century," and Leo McLeod on "The Entreprenurial Library."  This is on top of what looks like some great conferences that will be in the area: ILA, Virtual Reference Desk, ISLMA. (For non-Chicago librarians, you do not need to work at a CLS member library to attend CLS events.  However, CLS members are given preference during the registration process.) 4:24:38 PM

"If you still care about blogging (and I'm starting to care less about it) - Steven Levy Has A Blog About Writing About Blogs." [Ernie the Attorney] Teri says: I think it will be a year or two at the very least before blogs become as pervasive as email.  I also agree with some of my library colleagues across the state that blogs are really useful as a knowledge management tool. The next blog workshops for librarians in Illinois that I know of is September 9 at the Alliance Library System.  Its entitled "Portals and Newsfeeds and Blogs: Oh My!" and the instructor is Jenny Levine.  1:42:25 PM
