What could be better? That’s what I was thinking to myself when this morning’s mail brought my desk copy of Herman T. Tavani’s Ethics and Technologies, and Strategies for Ethical Computing (Third Edition).

New Spice: Study Like a Scholar, Scholar
Spent a fascinating day today in San Antonio at a MIDEA Workshop on Social Media. MIDEA is an acronym for the Marcus Institute for Digital Education and the Arts. In terms of full disclosure, I’m the lead blogger for the MIDEA blog, so I’m writing this both as an employee and a participant. The workshop [...]
Just back from AAM and since the conference was slam bang in the middle of the American Idol extravaganza, I wanted to nominate a few of my own American Idols.

And if you like that here’s a link to [...]
It’s been a long, long time since I’ve had much to do with students in art school. However, due to a fortunate series of events (involving a get-away weekend with my husband to a farm bed and breakfast in Niagara-on-the-lake) I’ve become acquainted with three talented young women. Blogs about Carrie and “Veggie Boullion” are [...]
On Monday, May 24, 9:00 – 10:15 a.m. there will be panel discussion at AAM on the Future of Museums, Libraries, and Archives. In the summer of 2008 The National Academy of Sciences, supported by IMLS, convened “The Future of Libraries and Museums in the 21st Century Planning.” This meeting [...]
I enjoy going to the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Museums (AAM). There are interesting sessions, lots of networking opportunities, reunions with friends (old and new) and this year there is one more cause for celebration in Los Angeles.
