It's Halloween!

Monkey Island came twice this year! Be sad if you missed it. :(

I really liked the suggestions I received for other books to read. They are right on track as far as the kinds of things I would like. Unfortunately,(or maybe fortunately) the Unsuggester also came up with a lot of stuff that sounded good, as I like sci-fi, but I have to admit I haven't actually read any of the "bad" recommended titles.

LibraryThing is extremely easy to use and I think it would be very handy for home libraries or organization's libraries. Also, I'm thinking you could print a list of a specific series of books that you collect, and take it along with you when you hit the resale stores like Goodwill or St. Vinny's. I would like to pick up copies of books that my daughter is collecting, but I never know which ones she already has. So if she used LibraryThning to catalog them, and then shared the link with me, I'd be all set to go shopping!

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THANG!

Flickr at the Library

We are getting ready to make our room booking/event scheduling software Evanced available to the public. Coincidentally, our IT guru used Flickr to add pictures of the performer/guest/events to the registration form for the public to see. What a great PR use of the Flickr software for our library.

Off to college!

Boy this was fun!!

Well I'm one of those people who does not yet have a digital camera and has had no experience with photos online. I searched Flickr to try and find an image that perhaps I would know the owner. I found my daugter Jaime's little dog Liddy in a picture taken at her doggie day care! I flickr mailed the photographer and got her permission to use Liddy's picture on my blog. She asked me to credit her by name, Vanessa Dorff, and link to her photography website as well.

Thanks Vanessa for sharing!
