This was fun! I searched around for new libraries

narrowing down my search like a true library

user, but not getting much closer home!

To the left-- by searching thru the comments that had been posted on the Flickr site I deduced it was a University library somewhere near Vancouver, Canada.

The other one above to the right is in Norwich, UK. No relevance really, but I always like the lookof libraries at night, looking in -- you can admire similarly our new ECU Joondlaup building at night!

In fact some may say its a better view after dark!

Wikis

Again , this was a while back -- I thought the US public library wikis a great way to display the range of services available and to engage the clients (latest books by themes , reading clubs, local organisations etc). There's clearly applications for us in library announcements, changes in services, corporate info etc., rahter than the static, mundane layout on the web site.
The "unconference" site suggests another use in supporting a discussion forum that might last for a specific time period.

RSS Feeds

Its been a while getting to do a post... but maybe a month back I tackled setting up some feeds. This was interesting just seeing the range of interest groups. I've been getting a feed from the Poll Vault (the ABC election site) as i am always interested in political discussions and the actual election process. Saved some searches from Medline to update as well.
