Play nice and share
A life philosophy? Sure, sure. Contrawise, I want to see if anyone else is using Google Documents. If not, is anyone interested in trying it out? I’d like to play around with Google Doc’s shared document feature. If you’re interested, email me. Ebook training today. W00t! It’s quite similar to electronic resource cataloging, with some […]

Book Descriptions
Feeling too lazy to swing a rough translation of a book I was cataloging, I looked the book up in amazon.fr and had Google translate the description. The results are below but what does it mean?

I had the opportunity to play with things I’ve never bothered with before and I had fun working with my […]

I can see the usefulness of having reference books such as this one in electronic format. I can save a copy and […]

Podcasting
Funny, Russ and I were just talking about creating podcasts and the next IUL2.0 topic is, you guessed it, podcasts. I tried out the search “libraries” (original, right?) in the podcast directories Podcast.net, Podcast Alley, and Yahoo Audio Search, and found two intriguing casts, Talking with Talis and SirsiDynix Institute, both focusing on Libraries 2.0.
