How to present like Steve Jobs

I’m not an Apple fanboy by any means, but I will say that Steve Jobs does have a knack for drumming up a little excitement. This video shows how you can incorporate some of Jobs’ style into your own presentations. Granted we don’t have a product as exciting as in iPhone when we teach students how to do library research, but we can offer such things as “free information” that can “make their lives easier” and get them “well on their way to completing their research” with “as little effort as possible.”

Times like this make you love your job

This morning when I launched Trillian, I received the following message: A good Friday morning greeting What a wonderful way to start a Friday morning.  It’s great to feel appreciated.  I think today I’m going to try to let someone else know how much I appreciate what they do, sort of like how they pass on kindness in that insurance company commercial .  Is there someone you know who needs to feel appreciated?  If you’re a librarian, when did you feel the most appreciated?  Drop a line in the comments if you care to share.
