repositories for the rest of us

2007/08/15: I'm baaaack

I've returned from cycling the Underground Railroad. Another tour member - Crazyguyonabike -- posted a ton of pix. We didn't take many ourselves since Adventure Cycling is going to be sending us a DVD with all the photos they can gather from the 90+ participants. What's really incredibly cool is that OCLC has teamed up with Adventure Cycling to provide a map of public libraries with Internet hot-spots along the route. Makes me proud(er) to be a librarian.

My daughter Z. did an AMAZING job as stoker on the tandem with wife M. as captain. She got to learn about some American history which she'll be taking in school this year as a fifth grader. She also had so much fun that she wants to continue doing tours in summer vacations to come. Yay. Next year we're thinking about cycling Greece since 6th grade is ancient history. We'll see.

I'm catching up with CC:DA work. Our commenting period for the revised Ch.6 & 7 is over. Now voting members are in the phase of reviewing one another's comments on the CC:DA wiki and indicating whether they agree/disagree. The process, while tedious, is very interesting to me. Lots of folks have strong feelings about it. I suspect it will take me several hours to work through it. Fortunately, my wifi works on the front porch and there are no rules against reading RDA commentary from a deck chair with an icy glass of Mojave Red.
