Family Man Librarian: Losing librarianship?

    What are you reading now, then? Of course, it still includes MY blog, right? ;)

    Tim,
    Rest assured, I'm still subscribed to your blog :-)

    The trouble is that I haven't quite found new reading sources. I haven't
    subscribed to a ton of new blogs to replace the ones I've dropped. I pay
    more attention now to Google-related blogs, e.g., and also have subscribed
    to some product-specific blogs that are relevant for my company. I also have
    broadened my list of technology-related blogs a bit. I still have quite a
    long list of library-related blogs that I'm subscribed to, actually. I'm
    just being more aggressive now in terms of pruning them.

    Steve, here's one that might be relevant to you: http://www.daniel-lemire.com/blog/

    Also have another in mind but can't think of it at the moment. Will try to come back and suggest it if/when I remember.

    Try not to think of it as losing librarianship but as helping to bring us into the world of search and taxonomy; you know, where we "supposedly" are.

    Mark,
    Great! Thanks for passing this along. And for the words of encouragement.
    It's kinda weird; I've worried that I'm losing where I came from. On the
    other hand I enjoy bringing librarianship into my new area of work because
    frankly it desperately needs it...

    Ah yes, here's the other one: http://thenoisychannel.com/ The Noisy Channel by the "chief scientist" at Endeca. Some good stuff now and again.
