Eindelijk weer gelegendheid om de dingendraad op te pakken en dat viel efkes tegen. Bijna handdoek in de ring, maar toch is het gelukt de chatknop aan mijn blogje toe te voegen. Er moet worden gemeld dat dit lukte met de aanwijzingen van Ali aan Rea. Dank dus.
Op naar de podcasting. Julia gaf me al een korte demo

google documents sharing
Ding 13 ging over het samenwerken aan documenten. Dat vond ik nou eens een zinnig onderwerp en interessant om mee kennis te maken. Samen en toch ieder voor zich.
Ik kan daar wel mee uit de voeten.

DELICIOUS
Wat een gedoe dat social bookmarking.
Voorlopig zie ik er nog niet veel winst in.
Maar dingetje 10 is weer gelukt.
Op naar het volgende ding.

Is it possible to make the life and work of a librarian interesting? Well, in the case of Ida Leeson, the first woman to become head librarian at the Mitchell Library, a good starting point is the assistance that she, as an expert on early South Pacific exploration, gave to the Charles Laughton version of Mutiny on the Bounty.
It is this approach to Leeson's life that makes this unusual biography so interesting. Here are images of Sydney before the Mitchell Library was built, of the poor who lived in the Domain during the Depression and found the library a source of warmth and solace, of the excitement of purchasing primary documents (Matthew Flinders's journals, for example), of the writers (James McAuley, Christopher Brennan, Marjorie Barnard, Miles Franklin) who gravitated to the vast resources of the library, and, of course, of the great contribution to Sydney's intellectual life made by David Scott Mitchell's bequest.
The result is an engrossing portrait of an interesting woman and a fascinating city.
