Hello everyone, I am writing a dissertation about the creative concepts for promoting libraries. I am looking for materials and information about libraries who promote they services in unusual way e.g. using ARG (Alternate Reality games) or like the open library in Germany which was build out of beer cartons http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/11/03/stunning-open-air-library-pops-up-in-east-germany/ o… Continue

Susan Cline Hooray for Me!

I finally buckled down and completed the 23 Things on CSLA's Web 2.0 tutorial. Now I'm conversant if not a convert. I am just old school enough that I see some of these apps as interesting and amazing, but huge time wasters......I love delicious, think Flickr is amazing, love Wordle, get blogging, still don't see the VALUE of Twitter. I will use some of the great links on my school library web page like the The British Library---WOW! Continue

Morgan Mandel Library Programs

Last night I took in a program at the Arlington Heights Memorial Library about the James Bonds films. It was hosted by Raymond Benson, who has written 9 James Bond books, and Dann Gire, the film critic from the Daily Herald newspaper. Their commentary was great, filling us in on tidbits we would otherwise not have known. The clips from the films were also great. A refreshing change of pace instead of staying home and watching TV. What kind of programs does your library offer? Continue

Aaron Tay Sharing links with users - 8 different ways

How do you share links, resources with your library patrons? In the past, the default option would certainly be through email. There is nothing wrong with sharing links through emails, though it seems to me a more structured and organized way would be better. But today with the rise of social networks, collaborative tools and general web 2.0 love, there are a bewildering number of online sharing options, I thought it would be useful in this post to briefly consider each class of tools and asses… Continue

Aaron Tay Creating custom search boxes for library use- a second look

A couple of months back , I wrote a post entitled Creating custom search boxes for library use. This is one of my top 10 most popular blog posts and also one of the posts which I'm most proud of because it is one of my few posts that I feel is pretty original. In that post, I figured out a way to create search widgets/boxes for practically any database, which can be embedded in many places… Continue

Gary Green 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
