We thought it was a good way to make these library materials more accessible. I just noticed a comment on one of the photographs. A patron recognized another patron’s house, and forwarded him the link to our historical photograph. The second patron then uploaded a photograph of his house today to his flickr account, and linked the two together using comments. That’s great – that’s exactly how libraries can enrich their collections and communities. We didn’t really do […]

http://gslistoolbar.wordpress.com/ The third group developed a toolbar for the Dominican GSLIS! Students, faculty and staff can download and install the toolbar for instant access to LIS resources. I have officially melted into a puddle on the floor.
The second group designed a Ning network for a university library! http://l2university.ning.com/ They tried to get the ads removed but never heard back from the Ning folks. Take a look. I am impressed!
It’s group project night in LIS768! The first group just presented on “Library as Place.” Checkout the YouTube video that features a visit to the Harold Washington Library in Chicago! The students shot a little video but encountered security enforcing the “no video” policy. Instead, they present their experiences in a Talk Show format.

I’m thankful for many things: family, home, my work, and my online life. I’m also thankful for LISNews and the hosting services that Blake Carver provides. He puts up with the mountains of spam comments TTW gets as well as all my strange requests. If you are thankful for the sites and services Blake provides also, head on over to: http://www.lisnews.org/node/28308 to make a donation of any size to the efforts of the LISNews folks! Thanks to all who’ve made this year so incredble online. It’s been a heartbreaking and wonderful year and the support I’ve received from my friends […]
http://opensocialweb.org/2007/09/05/bill-of-rights/ Preamble: There are already many who support the ideas laid out in this Bill of Rights, but we are actively seeking to grow the roster of those publicly backing the principles and approaches it outlines. That said, this Bill of Rights is not a document “carved in stone” (or written on paper). It is a blog post, and it is intended to spur conversation and debate, which will naturally lead to tweaks of the language. So, let’s get the dialogue going and get as many of the major stakeholders on board as we can! A Bill of Rights for […]
