I've just come across this New Scientist article which adds another dimension to the whole prospect. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18146-contact-lenses-to-get-builtin-virtual-graphics.html The dilemma now is... do I get laser eye treatment...

Gary Green replied to Gary Green's discussion 'Useful Tweeting beyond libraries' in the group Twitter as a Tool
Hi Jean I only started using Twitter about 6 months ago and it took me some time to get my head around it. I'm learning new uses for it all the time. It's not much good for conversations, as you can't always keep track of the conversation and peop...

A few years ago we (my bib team) looked at our cataloguing and classification processes and tried to work out how we could improve the processes and cut down on the human input side of things. I was one of 2 main cataloguing staff working for a la...

Hi Gary, I took a technology boot camp this summer--mostly with older teacher/librarians who are not digital natives. Twitter was not a hit. But I feel committed to learn to use it and other similar technologies not for its learning/teaching usef...

Useful Tweeting beyond libraries
Hi I came across this post on the 'Mobile Libraries' blog, which shows how a school is using Twitter as a learning/information tool for school children. I thought some aspects of it would be of interest to others on this site. http://mobile-libra...

Online Reading Groups / Book clubs
Hi. I just wondered if anyone has any experience of setting up or using an online reading group, such as the ones here? If so, do you have any feedback about setting one up, useful tips, best online software, etc? Booksprouts.com looks quite hand...

Hi Gary During a recent trawl of UK public libraries and their Web 2.0 level of activity, the only one I can remember seeing mention ebooks was Newcastle Public Libraries Hope that helps. Sarah

Could you imagine doing a mashup of different films that were filmed in the same location - live? Could be interesting - sort of like 'Dead men don't wear plaid'.

I am ready to beta test this using "Some Like it Hot" at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. Watching Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis scampering on the beach would be an amazing thing!

Automated classification and cataloguing

A few years ago we (my bib team) looked at our cataloguing and classification processes and tried to work out how we could improve the processes and cut down on the human input side of things. I was one of 2 main cataloguing staff working for a large public library service and I knew that it didn't make sense to have every single record we received from our suppliers updated by hand, so that it fitted in with our local needs. We still needed to keep some local information, but we were sure that… Continue

Twitter Snooker filter

Wouldn't it be good if you could follow someone on Twitter and only receive their Tweets that were relevant to the reason you started following them? For example, Imagine you started following someone because they were an expert on Web2.0 stock management. Imagine that they were also obsessed with Steve Davis (snooker player). In this fantasy world you also happen to dislike snooker so much that a mention of the yellow slipping in the pocket after being nudged gently by the blue makes you fall a… Continue

Augmented Reality for Books & Films

Here's an idea for Augmented Reality. Why not integrate a map of book and film locations into Augmented Reality handheld devices? So, if you're walking through central London, you can call up the film 'American Werewolf in London', it would direct you to the location of scenes, then once you got there it would pinpoint the exact spot/angle a scene was filmed at and replay the scene, overlaying the film on top of the real time image over your device. Live the film! Or how about going to Woking an… Continue

Twitter experiment

I recently tried an experiment with Twitter. I thought I'd get together an RSS feed of Tweets that mention the words 'love' and 'library' and Retweet them. I just wanted to see all the positive comments that people make about libraries and spread the word to my Twitter world (all 37 of my followers, over 1/2 of which are spammers... I don't mind. It makes me look more popular than I really am.) So I ran a Twitter search, found the RSS feed for it, put it into '… Continue

Personal mobile web site convertor

As a user of the mobile web on a smart phone I've come across various useful sites to view other sites that don't have an official mobile version, such as skweezer, Mowser, Baresite and Finch. The way it generally works is that you go to one of the websites above, enter the url of the… Continue
