A Casual Conversation with Greg Schwartz

Greg Schwartz is the Library Systems Manager at the Louisville Free Public Library, a blogger at Open Stacks, and the host with the most at Uncontrolled Vocabulary, a live weekly Internet-based audio program.The Casual Conversations series is designed to be up-close and personal from a respectable online distance. While there are many conferences (in-person, online, and in-world) where librarians can hear leaders in the field make formal presentations about interesting projects, there are few opportunities to hear these same leaders discuss informally what they currently are working on, their future plans and goals, the challenges and opportunities facing librarianship, their personal pet peeves, etc.

Host: TAP Information Services

Location: OPAL Online Auditorium
 

Feedback, conversation, greetings, introductions or any other form of engagement welcome. Tell me something good (or bad or otherwise). Thanks to all of you for stopping by.

And, um, Rudy, feel free to add me to your blogroll whenever the spirit moves you. I am blogging these days, after all.

Thanks to David for joining the conversation last night and to Michael for keeping it going on his blog.

I hope you’ll join me in welcoming the newest member of our family, Griffin James, born 11:05 this morning. Both he and Mommy are doing well, as is Daddy.

Big ups to my boy Michael Stephens on his reinvention.

Please join me in welcoming our newest family member into the world. Jackson Brooks (J.B., if you like) was born on Sunday, August 21. Vitals are 8 lb. 1 oz. and 20.5″. We are home and both baby and mom are doing well.

I’m sorry for the lack of audio content from the conference. I’m home safely and my sore throat has evolved into a full-fledged nastiness. In the meantime, be sure to check out all of the great photos from the conference at Flickr.com. Kudos to all who adopted the cil2005 tag.

Note: According to Flickr support, there is a known bug that prevents the basic search from providing complete results. You will get a slightly larger set of pics using the advanced search.

Just wanted to test out the “Blog This” feature at Flickr. So far, I’ve posted all of my pictures from Alaska, as well as my pictures from Monterey, which includes my pics from Internet Librarian 2004. So check it out, if you’re so inclined.
