Brian Russell writes with links that you should visit before his visit to our class next Tuesday:

This post has links to my ‘Best Of AA Year One’ audio. It’s the stuff I’m most proud of.

Here are my tutorials

Here is my bio

It would be great if the students could listen to some audio before hand.

CRADLE (Center for Research And Development of Digital Libraries) SEMINAR
Talk: Wikis and Blogs–How they can improve conferences and related activities
Presenter: Brad Hemminger and Jackson Fox Friday Oct 14, Manning 208
12:00-1:00pm

Description: For the first time, the American Society for Information Science & Technology (ASIST) conference will host both a blog and a wiki for their annual conference. Brad Hemminger and Jackson Fox developed and will host the ASIST 2005 wiki. We’ll talk about our vision for how we think wikis and blogs can help encourage communication between conference participants before, during and after the conference. We’ll walk you through the ASIST wiki, blog, and some of the behind the scene decisions in choosing the wiki, and
designing it for ASIST. We’ll leave time for lots of questions, and for others to share their experience with wikis and blogs as well.

Please bring your laptop and engage in interacting with and updating the wiki (before, during and after the talk)!

Here are links to the main ASIST wiki page, and the discussion page on the wiki specifically for this talk. Use the discussion page to pose questions and comments–we’ll look at it before and during the talk.

During the discussion on trolls, I mentioned A Rape in Cyberspace (Or TINYSOCIETY, and How to Make One). Here is link to the article. The spam filter stoped me from commenting on the entry for class of the 27th.
