Today I’m speaking to the Merri Hill Rock Library Cooperative on Social Software.

I’m impressed that among them are two really innovative and exciting blogs:
The Cutler Library in Litchfield has made an entire website with a series of free blogs from Blogger AND each is represented as a community space: BoaRD RooM, FRieNDS’ CoRNeR, INFoRMaTioN BooTH, KiDS’ RooM, ReaDiNG RooM, ReC RooM, ReFeReNCe RooM, TeaCHeRS’ LouNGe, and the TeeN RooM. What a FANTASTIC idea!

Also Nashua Library empowers teens w/ Teens Review It @ Your Library

My notes are available now.

Events Feed Changed (and .ical support curtailed) 3 November 2008

Bringing you our Library events via RSS over the last year or so has meant duplicating efforts between two systems: our calendar and our blog. Blessedly for us, our calendar provider has added RSS capability saving us a lot of work. If you follow events via an RSS reader, please change our address to [...]

Dictionary Day and an unlikely source 16 October 2008

Part of my work-a-day routine is to sign into my IM accounts on Meebo - often Meebo staff greet me with a little vignette, an insight into their company or some other interesting tidbit. This morning’s was particularly interesting: October 16 is a special day. Though rarely celebrated outside the confines of grammar school classrooms [...]

Computer trouble 8 October 2008

I am truly distressed to report that we are having severe problems with our public access computers in both library buildings. They are available for use but may reboot during your session. If they do, please see a staff member who will reset them and get you logged in again. We are [...]

New catalog tip 30 September 2008

The library had a very busy summer. In addition to our usual activity we also took on a branch new library system that changed our online catalog. We really like it, but it is quite different. I got a good question today: When searching and finding a book in the old format, [...]
