]]> So, I’m in NYC for the Search Engine Strategies conference, and we (myself and co-workers) took the oppurtunity afforded us by our early flight to do some touristy stuff. The first thing we did was hit the MOMA (it was only two blocks from our hotel) to see all the famous pretty pictures. Afterwards we braved the subway and went up to the top of the Empire State Building (where it was bone-chillingly cold). Now frozen solid, we went back to hotel to get some ideas for dinner. On the recommendation of the concierge at our hotel, we had a fantastic dinner at Thalia.

I’m posting photos of the trip on Flickr (I left the camera at home, so I’m using my phone).

]]> A Survey of Electronic Note-Taking Behavior in Information and Library Science Student :

A survey of graduate students in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was conducted to evaluate the adoption of digital technology for note-taking in classrooms. Previous work has demonstrated that note-taking is an effective tool for information processing. Furthermore, digital tools could increase the utility of notes by allowing students to better organize information, retrieve information, and integrate external information sources. Results of the survey indicate that while students recognize digital notes as possessing positive attributes, adoption of digital note-taking is hampered by immature software and hardware tools.

Not exactly a work of stunning insight, but it’s done! I will say it’s a topic I would like to continue investigating if I go back for my PhD.
