Super­pa­tron Ed Viel­metti is spec­u­lat­ing that Ann Arbor Dis­trict Library might be get­ting ready to con­nect Twit­ter and the Library. Not that I’m putting any pres­sure on AADL, but if any­one was going to do it, I’d expect it to be them.

“Once upon a time I built a ‘super­pa­tron­bot’ that searched the AADL cat­a­log via a Jab­ber bot — quite rea­son­ably you could build one of these upon Twitter’s direct mes­sage list­ings. Use­ful? Per­haps, espe­cially if I could link a Twit­ter account to my library card and then be able to twitter

d aadl reserve anatomy of a mur­der dvd

and have it do a hold on it for me (or return some dis­am­bigua­tor if there were mul­ti­ple choices).”

You can find the new, announce­ments Twit­ter feed for AADL at http://twitter.com/aadl.

If you want to ask AADL staff what they’re up to these days, head to the Library Camp tak­ing place there on March 20. It’s free to attend, and the dis­cus­sions are sure to fire up your brain.

I won’t be able to attend because I will be kick­ing off the day at the SOLINET/OCLC CAPCON event Chang­ing the Way Libraries Do Busi­ness: Meet­ing the Chal­lenges of the Web 2.0 World in Arling­ton, Vir­ginia. I’ll be giv­ing an overview of 2.0, but I’m really look­ing for­ward to hear­ing the other speak­ers for the day — Kate Shee­han, Jamie Coniglio, Jen­nifer How­ell, and Karen Cal­houn. You can still reg­is­ter, and you attend, please be sure to say hi.

If you can’t make either of these great events, you can try for Library Camp Kansas the day before, on March 19, another uncon­fer­ence that promises some great discussions.
