I'm knowledgeable about Word too and it can be very powerful if you know how to work with it. Assuming I’m still in IL, I wouldn’t mind helping with this.

A blog that keeps statistics on how the candidates are using technology; how many followers they have in Facebook, and MySpace, how many YouTube videos, how many Technorati tracks, etc. I really thought it was a great idea.

It does take some guts to get up and teach in front of your peers but you learn so much by doing it that it's definitely worth it. I recommend it!

I get lots of these kinds of questions and know that what I do is helpful -- even tho' I'm not teaching classes in it! I got an email from a (non-work related) friend who's writing a thesis. "How do I cite something I got from doing a FOIA request?" In librarian terms, I told her that a document's provenance wasn't relevant to the citation. With fingers crossed. I couldn't find anything about it with a quick web search, but it was a cool question. And shows how useful it is to have a librarian within IM-ing distance. Great idea!
