From Computerworld: "Whew! There sure is a lot to digest with Google's new Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS, officially unveiled in Hong Kong this week. The software, also known as Android 4.0, introduces the biggest changes we've seen to Android since the 2.0 releasethat launched with the original Motorola Droid. Make no mistake about it: Using Android is about to become a whole new experience."
"Same design...all new insides"
Instruction is often collaborative, which is why it's nice to have collaboration tools like Dropbox (file syncing). Check out the options discussed in this article!
Since one of my colleagues serves on this committee, I hear about the Top 25 all year round...still, it's impressive to see them all in one big list!
Rubrics: something that's always slightly intimidated me. Seems pretty simple here, though!

Interesting perspective from Christina's LIS Rant

I’m Char Booth, Instruction Services Manager & E-Learning Librarian at the Claremont Colleges Library. I blog at info-mational & tweet @charbooth.
Packing for conferences is all about wise shoe choices, so I’m including a triptych of the four to five pairs that I’ll be bringing to New Orleans. Flips and boots are the other likely suspects.
To each its own function: topsiders for whatever, oxfords for presenting, disgusting Toms for running/spelunking.
To see the oxfords in action, you can catch me Friday the 24th at 9:30 keynoting the RUSA Preconference Strange Bedfellows: IT and Reference Collaborations to Enhance User Experiences, Sunday the 26th at 4 at the EQUACC Progress Panel, and hopefully (if I can swing it), at The Right to Read: Increasing Information Access for People with Print Disabilities Panel on Sunday the 26th from 1:30-3:30.
Happy conferencing, and don’t be afraid of heat/humidity: it’s a beautiful combination.
Wisdom from the inimitable Char Booth!
"A perfect guidebook to a robust open access research tool that allows the user to manage all aspects of bibliographic data, “Zotero: A Guide for Librarians, Researchers and Educators” is essential for librarians, classroom faculty and students alike."--excerpt from the review
Users should be able to do their research, store their personal library...share their work with others, engage in conversations, and perhaps even manage complex research projects. It could be like a combination of Zotero, VIVO, Zoho, Yahoo pipes, Dabble, and MIT's OpenCourseWare.

A little ALA preview from Buffy Hamilton--wish I could attend this one!
Wow--I can't wait to see the finished product. And, I do hope they open it up to other contributors. I'd be all over that!
One of the driving forces behind this Tumblr:
"These days we are bombarded by so much information in so many formats that even the most organized among us are left thinking we've surely missed something we need to know. "
I often wonder about the real needs of graduate students (as opposed to undergrads, which we seem to think about a lot). This research project, conducted through the British Library and JISC, seeks to answer that question. I look forward to their updates!
With links to annual "best of" lists going back to 1994, this site gives a new meaning to "summer reading!"
