New Librarianship
The best days of librarianship are ahead of us. However, to get there the field must step back, refocus, and reexamine our core principles. We as a profession have become so focused on the trees of standards and process that we are now at risk from missing the larger forest of opportunities. This talk presents a view of a new librarianship, one focused on knowledge and action instead of artifacts and collection. The presentation will look beyond the trends of today’s technologies to a durable new librarianship that focuses on innovation, leadership, and service. (link via Andrew)

Africa Geographic digimag - Bringing Africa to the world
This is an absolutely amazing interactive magazine- I REALLY wouldn't mind having all my magazines in this format. Interactive beautifully illustrated with photos, video snippets and scrolling info bars. Lovely. Could be great in the Geography class/library.
Awesome Stories
Enjoy these great stories as you see thousands of hand-selected and relevant pictures, slide-shows, videos, audio-clips, documents and other primary sources linked, in context, where you need them.
Thanx Andrew...
