Pixar Rankings Revealed

The Wait is Over

See the gallery below for the final, authoritative Pixar Rankings List. Ok, ok, maybe not so final or authoritative. But I had fun collecting responses anyway. Thanks for humoring me. I've learned a few things. For instance, my wife's opinions are more right than mine. Shocker! LOL.

My comments/reactions are embedded in the gallery. I'll keep the survey up for a week or two if someone new wants to add their opinion to the mix. I might have to create an updated list.

Tech Leaders

Perception is Everything

When students want to learn how to use new technologies, where do they go? According to a fairly recent study performed by the School Library Journal (2013 wasn't THAT long ago, right?) it appears they ask their librarian!

This study focuses on K-12. I wonder what we would find if the study were expanded to higher education.

Libraries > Pi / Pie

Did Someone Say Pie?

This is a delicious statistic that I came across on twitter. Well, I came across a tweet promoting this article which I then retweeted. Anyways, here's the good stuff. (And the source link is not too shabby either!)

The Atlantic actually attempted to answer that very question [What is the public approval rating for libraries?] and found that libraries beat the approval ratings of Congress (easy), President Obama (a bit harder), baseball (seriously?), and apple pie(!).

Gov Docs in the Real World

Guess what I just got in the mail,... A SURVEY!!!

Right after completing my government documents class too. I did a lot of work in that class on both NOAA and the statistical information that comes out of these surveys. By the way, did you know NOAA is still operating from President Nixon's executive order? True story. 

So yes. I will fill out this survey about my experience fishing. I went once. On a party boat and caught an undersize grouper that I had to release. I also caught a bunch of teenie fish under a bridge. But I'll perform my civic duty and fill out this survey. 

I hope you'd do the same.
