Using LibraryThing in your library

Here’s an idea that Karen Burns of SWILSA just pointed me to. Somehow I’d not thought of this myself. I love this idea and will be posting links to her libraries that get it up and running.

“I’m sure this is old hat to you but I’ve just stumbled onto the idea of using the RSS feed for recently added titles on LibraryThing to put a library’s new titles on their website. (I kind of like Feedroll’s javascript generator…) Do you know of any libraries that are doing this already? (I’ve got one here in SW Iowa ready to dive into it, and I’m sure I’ll have a second and maybe a third and fourth by the end of the day…)”

UPDATE: Karen would like me to make it clear that she got the idea elsewhere.

Flickr pause

With three trips in August behind me, I’ve used up my Flickr upload bandwidth for the month. So, I’ll be catching up on Friday when my account is reset.

Windows Vista delay?

Yesterday morning I got to share a table with an employee of the Microsoft marketing department. Eventually, I had to ask the obvious question: “Do you think Vista will be delayed yet again.” Their response: “Probably.”

Silly Questions

For those of you that don’t follow my flickr photos, here’s one that I just have to make sure everyone sees. This sign was out in from of the Albertsons Library at Boise State University. Considering this past week was the first week of classes this sign is just perfect. If you appreciate this sign as I do, please click on the photo and leave a comment in flickr. I know that the library’s staff are watching.
