Biography
About DrWeb...

A few words about me and the personal side of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness... more to follow....

* Librarian, MLS University of South Carolina
* Writer-Editor, B.A. English, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
(UNCC)

* New Job at SDPL
In November, 2001, I started a new job as a Training Librarian at the San
Diego Public Library. My work involves establishing benchmarks for their
technical competencies and conducting a training survey; coordinating and
creating staff and patron training classes and programs, such as the
classes for staff from Infopeople; developing training materials,
resources, and aids for the Library catalog and all electronic resources;
training staff in electronic databases, searching, and retrieval.

So far, it's been plenty to do, but the instructional work, creating
tutorials and online materials, and improving training of the staff is
very rewarding. I work in a group called CAOS (Collection Analysis and
Online Services.

Site Features:

Neat New Stuff on the Net - Weekly Reviews of New Sites by Marylaine Block
<http://marylaine.com/neatnew.html#thisweek>
A valuable place to find internet resources.

Content Sample:

Happy new year to you all!

All sites are working at the time I post them. If any are not working at
the time you click on them, keep trying; their server may be unable to
handle the sudden rush of traffic I've sent to it.

Alexa Page Rank
<http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/traffic_rankings.html?p=Dest_W_t_40_R1>
Type in a URL and find out not Alexa's analysis of the site's traffic
rank, but also related sites, a capsule description, an analysis of how
people use the site, and an opportunity to write a review of the site on
Amazon. You can also browse by subject or browse the top 500 sites. Alexa
is a partner of Google and an Amazon company.

Dr.Web's Domain
<http://drweb.typepad.com/dwdomain/>
A new weblog about "All things library and life" from a "Guybrarian in San
Diego." Blog entries and quick capsule reviews of his recent reads
indicate his interests are wide-ranging, always a good sign.

Encyclopedia of Television
<http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/index.html>
Courtesy of the Museum of Broadcast Communications. While this isn't a
good source for info on current programming (the entry on The Muppet Show
says that a new Muppet Show will air in 1995), entries on older programs
include the cast list, production information, a bibliography, and an
essay on the content and development of the show. Entries on idividuals
include an essay, a list of productions, links to related articles, and a
bibliography. Browsable but not searchable.

Eyewitness to History
<http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/>
Each entry frames the eyewitness account with a brief description of the
event and of the person recounting it and includes a bibliography and
related links. Browse by time period. There's also a small audio archive
of Voices of the 20th Century.

This is all from the web report for January 9, 2003 and that is not even
half of this weeks report, imagine what a whole year of this sites web
picks might produce.  However, a running archive of six months issues of
this web resource alerting service is what is stored on this site.

Getting back to Dr Web, his site also covers news stories that he finds to
be of interest with excerpted discussion of the news item and a link to
the full article.

Here is a sample of the stories covered on this page at the time of this
post.

UK | A new Queen to rule the waves
Former Relief Pitcher Tug McGraw Dies
Mars Exploration Rover Mission: Multimedia
Scientific American: The Top Science Stories of 2003
Welcome to LibrarianInBlack!
Sir Tim | Web's inventor gets a knighthood...
The Village Voice: Film: Where the Boys Are
Historic Shining Light (Old Point Loma Lighthouse)

The left column of the page has several links to some of the most powerful
web page resource lists on the internet.  The design of this website is
also intesting and creative.

Between Dr Web and Marylaine Block one can learn a powerful lot about
internet resources and what of importance is going on in the world.

Sincerely,
David Dillard
