Now presenting: Open Stacks #20.

Also available via the podcast feed.

Thought I'd clear out the backfile of things to discuss before I head off to CiL tomorrow. I'm not altogether happy with the sound quality, but not upset enough to re-record. Running time is 24:43.

Show notes:

1. Clubb battles Royal - Everyone loses.
2. An update on Jackson (not my son, who is fine, thanks)
3. On using large libraries to generalize about all libraries - a new report
4. Oklahomophobia - that was too obvious, right?
5. Trading Walden for Walmart

I had also meant to talk briefly about the new Waterloo Public Library podcasting initiative (as reported by Michael Stephens), but the press release speaks for itself. I must say that digitized "heritage walking tours" sound like a very compelling use of resources for the community.
