Hyperlinked Newsroom 1 week, 1 day agoI was catching up on my local news today when a touching story came up about our canine pals coming to local libraries to help children with reading skills. In the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area, PAL (https://www.peopleanimalslove.org/) and Pets on Wheels (https://www.petsonwheels.org/) offer caring support dogs to assist in our local libraries…[Read more]

Dogs as hyperlinks- I love it! My children love going to the library for read to a dog – our local library had a special day at the park/dog park this summer with all the program dogs so the kids could go around and read to them all. It was a great outreach for kids and pet owners!

@michele This is everything! Yay for dogs being Hyperlinks. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been following Mychal for a while now on various social media channels… And I must admit that I continue to be blown away by his boundless enthusiasm towards embodying the aspirational ideals of wholehearted librarianship. Mychal’s love for the “undeniable magic” articulated throughout daily routines of LIS practice undoubtedly serves as a…[Read more]

Hi Pam @pamsponderings… Thanks so much for your kind words. I am also looking forward to the journey ahead. Hopefully, the intersection of UX and Hyperlinked Libraries should be an interesting mixture for discussion.

Hi @biblobrowsing! It’s such a pleasure to have you on board with Hyperlinked Libraries and UX SG. I’m definitely on the same boat with lots of eclectic MLIS coursework in Emerging Technology. Who knows where it all might lead?! I’m also very happy to finally see the photos of your miniatures collection. These are so beautiful… Cheers!

@brittanyst… Greetings, Fellow Chefs… I’ve been hearing so much about “The Bear” lately that I will definitely have to give it a try. The series seems to incorporate “controlled chaos” with a complex layering of problems, dynamic interactions, and interesting cinematography alongside lots of compelling long-shots.…[Read more]

Hi Michele,
The picture at the top of your post made me smile and queasy… I do not have the stomach for VR, but my kids do and friends do! It is so fun to watch people, yet I cannot handle it myself.
Bringing attention to the VR technology and how it can be used as a tool for learning and growth is definitely worth noting in the digital divide. I would love to bring more opportunities in the technology realm to my library, and offer supports to community to help bridge that gap.
