My favorite tools: Trello
This is the first of a series of post on productivity and organizational tools that I’m finding useful in my library work.

Trello, at its most basic, is a collection […]
Edelweiss, Or Crack Cocaine for Librarians/Collection Development People (Stephanie Wilkes)
This is one of those ‘informative training type’ posts where I want to let you guys in on a little website that has completely blown my Snuggie off. (Don’t steal my phrase…I’m gonna trademark that.)

It’s a Contest! Win a signed copy of They Suck, They Bite, They Eat, They Kill by Dr. Joni Richards Bodart
I had the pleasure earlier this year to review Dr. Joni Richard Bodart’s newest professional title They Suck, They Bite, They Eat, They Kill. This book is a must have for your professional shelf.
