Michael Casey Recording
Thanks to @catladylilia and @arthurkolat for all of their questions and scission. Please watch if you can..I also mention some topics regarding […]-
Just getting to this recording. What a great chat! Casey had a lot of great insights to offer. I have seen first hand how signing up k-12 students for cards increases patronage. I appreciate that he shared his honest opinion of social media marketing, he made a fair point when he mentioned that followers have already made the effort to seek out a library’s page.

@michael Thank you for sharing this – what a gorgeous, engaging space! My parents recently moved to an Austin suburb and are still trying to settle in to feel at home. I’m going to Austin in December and will definitely check this place out. I think my parents (and my kids) will love it.
-
@emtaggart Sincere apologies for missing this comment. I hope you get to see the library when you go to Austin. The view in the highlighted picture looks so amazing to me.

This is amazing! I love how they say “we are so much more than a public library” while actively showing a patron sipping coffee while sitting in a comfy chair–it just exudes coziness. I love it. This commercial makes me appreciate libraries even more!

@mickeysosa97 Yay! It is so well done!

Wow! I just submitted my Innovation Strategy & Roadmap into this Audio AI and it created a perfect 5 minute podcast summarzing the project. My mind is blown. Will share along with my finished roadmap when finished.

@kylehanson Very cool! I am glad you tried it out. Mind blown for sure!

I just pasted my last blog post and listened to the podcast created, and it just blew my mind. Here is a link to it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WQ5cbjLAHqrQNWIE4i8uagM7tHT7rIpw/view

I had to click on the Notebook guide then load to listen to the podcast. Thanks for the info!-
@claireburke Thrilled you tried it. I don’t think your link will work if it goes directly to your google account.

@michael okay, hopefully this time it works!

Sites for Free Images
Hey all – Please share your favorite sites for grabbing Creative Commons or free-use images for your blogs and Inspiration Reports. I just came […]-
Adobe Stock and Pixabay are good places to download duty-free images for a project as well.
-
Students have access to Adobe, so we can get their images when it might have cost something otherwise.
-
@acorey Adobe Stock is a great one! I’ve been using it more since becoming an SJSU student. 🙂 Have you played around with Adobe Express? It’s like Adobe’s version of Canva and is a good resource for combining free images with other digital assets.
-
I don’t believe I’ve tried this one, but I will! Thanks! Does anyone else find the number of app we can use in the MLIS program, and life in general, overwhelming? I often find myself having to moderate the apps on my cell. Too many and you can never find anything!
-
-
-
-
I use Pixabay.com!
-
Pexels is my go-to, but I’ve also used Unsplash.
-
unsplash.com is one of my favs. It has beautiful photographs that, honestly, I can’t believe are free to use.

Congrats to those finishing up! To other fellow students who are, like me, still working on their degree, hang in there and enjoy the journey! I’m not graduating until Fall ’25, but I can’t wait!
it will be here before we know it 🙂
True! I am both sad and impatient for it, all at the same time.
@acorey I’m in the same boat, see you in Fall 2025 😉
@msandoval You too!
I enrolled for the Spring 2025 e-portfolio class earlier this week! It’s the last class I will be taking and then I am done with my MLIS!
Congratulations everyone! I’ll be in the hot seat soon enough (Fall 2025) 🙂
Yay! Fall’25 people!
Congrats to everyone finishing up!! I’m in the same boat as those who said Fall 2025–see you all then. 😀
