Took myself to Crane Alley for a couple Guinness and beet chips with goat cheese dip while sitting outside working on my Collection Development assesment and evaluation plan.
I’m writing up a plan that considers the UIUC LIS Library collection, along with online materials available through the UIUC Library Gateway, for support of cataloging and classification education and the continuing education of catalogers and metadata librarians. Can’t really say I know what I’m doing, but I’m giving it my best anyway and learning in the process. Luckily, it isn’t really going to be implemented so it only has to show that I’ve given it some thought. And due to page limits it can only contain so much. I’d be doing a lot more if it were for real.
Angel and family are fine; others still pending
Once I got home and had an internet connection again I was overjoyed to see I had a comment from Angel saying that he and his family were safe. I still haven’t seen or heard anything from Jane, Ranger, or David. See my post This Rita is NOT lovely nor a meter maid for links to their blogs and for Angel’s comment.

Greg is looking for hosts folks. I’d hate to think this is not the community for such a thing. Take a look at your calendar and step up.

Submission and Hosting Guidlelines
To be a host you have to have submitted an entry at some point. I know there are folks who have submitted posts who haven’t hosted yet. And I am sure there are legitimate reasons to submit and not host, so I’m not really trying to twist any arms here.
I am unsure about Greg’s interpretation, but I’d certainly be willing to vote for hosting privileges if you’ve ever had a submission included, whether you submitted it yourself or whether someone recommended it. But for those sorts of "rule interpretations" we need a community first.
