Amazon has announce an improved Kindle while dropping the price $50 to $139. Getting more, paying less. Most professional associations offer the same programs each year at the same cost or a slight increase. Getting the same. and often paying more for it. Who would you rather affiliate with based on this equation alone? Note: I'm back to regular blogging after an office and home move and the susbequent lower back strained that sidelined me for awhile.

Facebook has just added 3 new features to the ‘Like’ button that hold a promise of greater connectivity and better analytics. Not unusual for Facebook, the release came on a weekend, so no real chance yet to thoroughly explore the bells and whistles – and the implications. And there’s a lot to take in! ‘Like’ acts more like ‘Share’; Facebook analytics are beefed up; and Facebook Pages get to pipe their content right into the newsfeeds of all who ‘Like’ them.

I was recently honored to deliver a paper at the Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) Library Roundtable in Japan. The KIT Roundtable has its roots in the aftermath of WWII, when the Library of Congress helped to rebuild the Japan’s National Diet Library. The Japanese were so grateful they decided to endow an annual exchange of ideas between librarians from Japan and the United States.

Coming up on my 2 and a half year mark at my current association I face what I see as a second big challenge, the departure of a second Executive Director. About a month ago the current Executive Director announced he would be leaving in mid August to accept the same position at another association.
