eM's Web--What is it?

So, here we are in 2010. I promise to write my blog; I promise to write my blog; I promise to write my blog (I'm pretending this is a chalkboard). I'd say now "All kidding aside ..." but, although this will be mostly a professional blog, I can't say all kidding will be set aside. They say that a blog should have a theme to be successful. However, I tend to get claustrophobic with too narrow a view, so the theme is very broad--the "information planet," or the "information universe" or "information and society." "eM's Web" is my brain on the information universe. I'd be happy to have you visit sometime. And, yes, as you can probably tell, I am kind of new to The Blog. Here's a little list of topics that might show up here:

Cataloging--specifically: metrics in cataloging and measuring outcomes of technical services; psychology of detail-oriented jobs; how best to teach cataloging in a way that reveals how much fun it is and keeps it fun.

Graphical information transfer; the information transfer cycle (which I love); aesthetics; communication theory; anything about art or science or nature and information transfer in art or science or nature; measuring student outcomes in the university; mind mapping; interesting new teaching methods; cognitive theory.

I first studied art, then literature, then information science, so you might see where a lot of this comes from. And, I think I'll keep blogging on these books, as what I'm reading always get smushed into this big Web in my head, sometimes creating semi-truth and mythology, and sometimes, well maybe most things are semi-truth and mythology after all, depending on your point of view. See? The Web is tricksy and water flows right through :)
