Staying Connected, Thanks Curtis!
Hi folks. This is my fist post here on the Staying Connected New Mexico website. Staying Connected is intended to be a sort of virtual commons: a place for the librarians who participated in the Emerging Technologies Workshops (and anyone else who wants to participate) to come together, share ideas, be social, learn from one another, and most importantly, to stay connected.
Staying Connected is a website that addresses technology and is a resource of information about technology. But by its very nature, as an object of technology, the creation of virtual community, and active participation in the process of making Staying Connected a vibrant virtual space; this is a technological act in and unto itself. Live free and be technical!
The New Mexico State Library would like to acknowledge and extend our admiration to Dr. Curtis Rogers who created Staying Connected. He has done an excellent job. He clearly has an eye for color and web design, not to mention his leadership in the area of information services and emerging library technologies. The Doctor of Connectivity!
In the spirit of Staying Connected, resident librarian Sandy White has created her own Library Thing library. Library Thing is a free, socially oriented website, where you can create your own space and catalog your personal library. Cataloging books on Library Thing is fun and easy. You can comment on other people’s libraries. And you can see who shares books that are in your library. Sandy’s Library includes essential reference resources and books on the Southwest. Check it out!

Nothing Could Be Finer

I keep my eye on many innovative libraries. These libraries are at the outer edge of our market, leading the way with new takes on service and outreach. They inspire me. They also help me do my job. I love to see what Hennepin is doing, and what Darien will do as they build their new library, as well as many other libraries across the country and around the world. And I’m also keeping a close eye on the state of South Carolina. If there ever was a state filled with library goodness, it would be there.

Is Web 2.0 Safe?
By Robert McMillan, PC World
As users store more data online, hackers are finding ways to break into the new service sites. experts say the problems are deep-seated.Samy Kamkar was really just trying to impress girls. Instead, he made Web hacking history.Kamkar created what is considered the first Web 2.0 worm–a virulent bug that no firewall could block, and which ultimately forced MySpace.com to temporarily shut down. The Samy worm (named after Kamkar) was among the more prominent of a new generation of Web attacks that some security experts fear may slow the fast-evolving collaborative model of Internet development known as Web 2.0…
