It’s that time of year again: Library Journal has just released its list of “Movers and Shakers” for 2010.
This year, the Library Society of the World (better link here) was well represented, with Movers & Shakers Maurice Coleman, Matt Hamilton, Jason Puckett, and Andy Woodworth. But most notably for the LSW, our very own Steve [...]
Inspired by Steve Lawson’s post, which was in turn inspired by John Scalzi’s post:

Things I plan to do at Computers In Libraries 2009 that have nothing to do with computers or libraries:
Take a shower with neither a toddler nor a baby monitor in the bathroom with me.
Eat breakfast sitting down.
Sleep past 6:30 am.
Eat a meal at a restaurant with cloth napkins and tablecloths.
Think about James pretty much every [...]
Many congratulations to my good friends Jason Griffey and Kim Duckett on being named “Movers and Shakers” for 2009 by Library Journal!

How could a librarian not love this little guy?
