Reviewing Previous Goals in Internet Publishing
I am approaching my study of internet from three major points of interest:
1) I am a Library School student, very interested in the impact digital publishing has on the library, the publishing industry, the librarian and the book.
I am curious about the future.
I believe the library of the future will become more important in the future, despite the digital age. Libraries are already providing open access to information, protecting our first amendment rights, and closing the digital divide. Library websites contain links to important social services in the community, and provide onsite help in computer skills, tax preparation, and a myriad of other subjects. The library also features activities for children, teens, artists, film buffs, and poets, while having changing displays of interest.
I see that the library is in many ways the library is already the library I envision for the future. My-vision-of-library-of-future.html
2) I am an author of stories and songs, wondering where and how to publish.
I self published 'A Recipe to Leaving an Abusive Relationship' through Smashwords, and have had 84 downloads so far. It is a free essay, but it pleases me that I might help some other woman caught in the same situation as I once was.
3) I am a future promoter wanting my author to achieve her goals. What are effective methods of promotion on the web? Is it possible to bring an unknown author to the attention of the reading public without support from paid alliances with internet giants? My author has had a hap-hazard history with spotty promotion attempts before losing interest. To be an effective marketer, I need a systematic, well planned approach, taking stock of what works and what doesn't.
To put it baldly, I suck at promotion but I know the things to do. Any kind of mass promotion is better than dribbles here and there, through newspaper, radio, television, or podcasting. Create a buzz, then play the show.

Ants, Stars, and Libraries
There are starts and finishes, but no beginning or end.
The infinite is in ants and stars.
The finite is in ants and stars.
Go in, in, and further in to an ant's eyelashes, and in, in, further in to the teardrop wobbling on a single lash,and in and beyond to worlds and causations behind the tear, and it goes on and so on until it's too much, and too little to see.
Dream of God with the universe as your ceiling, the stars rushing by, bigger and bigger, and bigger still until it's too much too much and too big to fathom, and find yourself right back with the ants.
Humanity is more ant than star, but ants are not forgetful of their Oneness.
To continue to elevate humanity, no one must be left behind. All of the world's citizens must have their basic needs met, and have at least the opportunity to love the library.
The library is bigger than four walls. It is concrete dedication to freedom, and must be protected for the sake of our future generations.
