Okay, I'll throw it out there...

Who wants to talk about format migration of tapes, the creation of online audio libraries and cross-institution searching of said libraries within NCCPL?

Twitter as "Global Mind"

Twitter is certainly an interesting phenomenon and seems to be growing with an increase in non-teen users. I think with increased use of the Web using mobile devices we will see more of this. Tweets can be, among other things, conversations that are happening in the Cloud. You can follow or be followed as a part of the means of conversation. But you can also see what is happening out there in the global mind. Monitter is one way you can see tweets based on search terms. Really interesting stuff. I look forward to see how these resources develop.

Twitter vs. Facebook Lite

We have been following the evolution of Twitter. It seems to be hot right now. Facebook has developed a simplified interface called Facebook Lite which seems to be compared with Twitter. We will see how these two resources develop. I know that our ITP students are very active on Facebook, but have yet to see what role Twitter will play in our community communication.

Get Your Geek On...

Join ITP, Saybrook and Pacifica at the Information Literacy Google Site, where the three institutions are slaving away (well, sort of) on IL collaboration. Each institution is designing and/or improving their information literacy programs using Google Sites as a collaborative work space. Join us for ongoing IL development, or just to see a good example of how to use Google Sites for project management/teamwork. ...Or, just because you want to electronically loiter at our digital hangout. Send Erin the Librarian an email if you'd like an invitation to join! All are welcome.

Bing.com

Beautiful interface for this new search engine--an photo image takes up most of the screen, with little fact mouse-overs and links related to the image. The exploring metaphor has been taken many ways.
It can be added to your search bar in Firefox--very happy about that. I will have to play with it some more.
