This episode features an interview with Patrick Carman, author of The Land of Elyon books including The Dark Hills Divide, Beyond the Valley of Thorns, and the upcoming The Tenth City. Also, I've extended the deadline for entries in the Mystery Book Contest.

If you thought you knew all the noted 19th-century piano virtuosi who were also composers, you may have overlooked one. Gottschalk, a Louisiana native, was considered to be the equal of Chopin and Listz. Sadly, he died young, but his music lingers on--a kind of monument to the Romantic era.

Another excellent blog-venture is waiting for you at the Carnival of the Infosciences #26, this week hosted over at Data Obsessed. Many thanks to Amanda for taking a turn at the helm of the Carnival mothership.

And so we return to Mr. Senior Librarian himself, Steven Cohen, for next week's Carnival over at Library Stuff. I'm sure he will remember to open the floor for submissions soon, but in the meantime, I'm sure he won't mind if you sent him a submission or two to stevenmcohen [at] gmail [dot] com. In fact, I imagine he'll thank you for it...and so will I.

I mentioned in the last show that I had an upcoming engagement that I didn't want to talk about until I saw a public manifestation of it. Well now there is, so I can safely tell you that I'll be doing a two-part series on podcasting for the SirsiDynix Institute.

I'll be talking about the consumer end of podcasting in the first week (May 17, 8 AM Pacific). During the second week, we'll talk about podcasting from the content creator angle (May 24, 8 AM Pacific). It's free so I invite all to register ere. The dates are wrong on the registration page. It's definitely May, not March. I imagine this will be corrected soon.

And, of course, as great as Senior Librarian for PubSub Concepts sounds, that's not me, but someone else entirely.

Making sure you're not using stale catchphrases, we dip into the mailbag, and just a few words on the show's first anniversary. -M!

Thanks to a handy link from Library Stuff, I discovered that the Curtin University Library and Information Service is now podcasting. So far, they are offering an audio tour of the library as well as a clip about ID numbers and passwords. Here's a link to the podcast feed. Kudos to Constance for spearheading this project. Perhaps you can help with her librarian blogger survey?
