The same as my nonprofessional resolution: to be more patient with and less unconstructively critical of other people. And with/of myself.

2. What are your three favorite novels?

These are the books I reread often, so I guess they are my favorites: Sirens of Titan/Galapogos/Cat’s Cradle/Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut; Brave New World by Aldous Huxley; Animal Farm by George Orwell.

3. What three computer or Web applications can’t you live without?

Whatever powers my iPod and my DVR, and Firefox.

Significantly improve my presentation skills.

2. Three of my favorite novels at the moment:
Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson
Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, by Haruki Murakami
Love Burns, by Edna Mazya

3. Web apps I can’t live without:
GoogleDocs
Jing
Bloglines

although i have to say the the term “application” is a little bit fuzzy for me – I would normally think of an application as a specific tool added on to a larger site or piece of software to make it work in a way that is more to my liking – like firefox extensions, for example. On the other hand, many people seem to use ‘application’ to describe any social media tool/site they use online, large or small, specific or general.

1.To continue to help the users of my library realize what tools are available even in our small library and develop
better research practices.
2. Finish my master’s degree;one semester left.

2. What are your three favorite novels?
The Tin Drum Gunter Grass. Hands down this is awesome. I’m
blown away by this book every time and it can be re-read over and over again. Generation X Douglass Coupland. Again another book that can be read over and over again. A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again David
Foster Wallace. Admittedly, this book is not a novel but a collection of essays. However, it is brilliant, witty and remarkably perceptive without emanating ivory-tower vibes.

3. What three computer or Web applications can’t you live without?
Firefox with Zotero, Scribefire and Foxmarks. I also use Gmail, Google Reader and am loving on the iTunes.
