Thing 9

Locate a few useful library related-blogs and/or news feeds.

Explore MERLIN and then locate a few other useful library-related blogs and/or news feeds



Pittsville Library blog video

is not for watching in its entirety but the footage of the library, which is a trailer, being delivered and setup on an unused portion of the public school property starts my mental midget brain going. The library can be anywhere. (I could have one in my front yard.) And may be when gas is more than $10 per gallon lots of little libraries will make lots of sense. What if you could walk or bicycle easily to a library from anywhere in the county and have access to books video etc in hard copy from any library in the county within a day, or download to your laptop on the spot. Or will we do it all from home. Probably some of both. Personally I want my library to have a book printing machine.

Well the blogs and myspace are free. Why not have many myspaces for the library which would be directed to different patron groups with different content and linked together allowing you to move among them to access the content that interests you !now! and linked to the libraries various blogs also, oh and the website also.

It is interesting that you yourself can sign your blog up to be include on a particular feed search website. It think it was Technorati where I encountered this.
