Instant Messaging. Looking for more reasons to try IM or discuss it with faculty?
The Chronicle of Higher Education reports on an article "Instant Messaging: IM Online!RU?" in Educause. Try this link to the article instead of the one in the Chronicle. Furthermore, if you search either IM or Instant Messaging on Educause's website, you will find additional articles, like "Father Google and Mother IM: Confessions of a Net Gen Learner," which gives helpful tips in teaching this Generation.

Conference Notes. No, not mine, other peoples. I have been lurking through sites reading some great blog reporting on Internet Librarian 2005 and other conferences, here and here for starters.
