SLIS Faculty Workshop




This year's theme: Charting your future with more creative ways of academic torture... Hehehe...

April 28 to 30, 2009. Lagos del Sol, Caliraya, Cavinti, Laguna.

Some notes on this.

  • Same place as last year, still nice and cozy.

  • Some new faces.

  • Rained the whole time so not much on the R & R.

  • Minor disaster for me. Normal trip to Caliraya w/ minivan was 2 1/2 to 3hrs. on the way home, damn 2wheel (rear-only) drive broke in Pagsanjan. Had to drive painfully slow with 4wheel drive engaged to run the van using the front wheels with the rear wheels freewheeling. Took me 5hrs+. Had to run only at 40kph max, plus the with the extra effort needed to spin the front wheels, overheating was a major problem. Had to gas station hop along SLEX. At least I got home safe.




Last year's faculty workshop.
Last year's R & R.

‡biblios.net | Cataloging productivity suite


http://biblios.net
LIS 160 peeps as well as those with cataloging subjects may find this useful, if not interesting.

It's a web-based cataloging client running on Google Gears which supports copy and original cataloging. You can search millions of freely licensed records and share your records with other libraries. MARC21 and MARCxml support too.

Bumped into this c/o @prexmol who's doing work for Kabaka Lib.
