Richard, Ken:
This sounds wonderful and great fun and I wouldn't worry about awkward
moments. (I was recently told by a favorite fellow blawger that
"awkward is the new cool" so live dangerously and be awkward but brave.)
My Oregon colleague, Jenn Dalglish (the Clackamas County Law Librarian),
and I appear on a monthly public cable access program for 10-15 minutes
(and in June will have the whole hour - to talk up the AALL Portland
conference and law libraries). It's been fun, nerve-wracking, and
educational, and we have no regrets about doing it. We've kept it up
for a couple of years. Your blogradio presentation sounds more
interesting and has greater scope. Most people still haven't a clue
what librarians do, let alone what law librarians do.
I've attached a couple photos from our Feb TV studio appearance (we
submitted them to the AALL Day in a Life too, but alas ...). If we can
do this, you can too. (Though, Jenn's a natural and I'm mostly the
instigator and wise-cracker, which should surprise no one who knows me
:-)
Break a leg!

Subject: [LAW-LIB:55454] Live Interview with Ken Svengalis -
Tomorrow, May 2, 3:00 PM Central Time
Tomorrow afternoon, 3:00 PM Central Time, Brian Striman and I
will be hosting an hour-long live internet radio call-in program. Ken
Svengalis, of Legal Information Buyer's Guide fame, will be our special
guest. Please tune in.
To listen in to the show, please point your browser to:

You can call-in at 347-945-7183. Chat will also be available so
you can ask questions or make comments without calling.
This is the maiden voyage of Brian's and my experiment with
BlogTalkRadio.com. At this point, we have no plans to carry on the
experiment beyond tomorrow, but, if it is a success, we may offer the
show once a month, on the first Friday. The topic, of course, is legal
bibliography and law library issues. We're newbies at this medium, so I
expect a few awkward moments (although we are taking measures to keep
them to a minimum).
We hope tomorrow to discuss pricing practices of legal
publishers and their effects on law libraries and legal researchers. We
hope to hear from private, public and academic libraries - and
publishers. At the end of the hour-long program, we'll take calls and
comments on any topic of interest to listeners.
We hope to have fun with the show and with the medium. It's an
experiment. We expect to have a good discussion without taking
ourselves too seriously.
I hope that you can join us. Please pass this along to others
in your libraries who may be interested.
