hi fi sci fi library & dorkmachine
Hi Fi Sci Fi Library! I love this little video that Michael Porter and David Lee King put together. You can see a small clip of me spazzing out partway through it. Nice work guys.
where else besides the library can I ask a question online?
Brian has a few suggestions for other places to go online to ask questions or read other people’s answers. As you probably know, I work for Ask MetaFilter and I’m pretty happy with how it all works out, getting people answers to their questions. I’ve asked thirty questions there myself. Here’s a screenshot of what I think is a pretty usual list of questions.
YakPac
I subscribe to the LibLime news blog which is often announcements of libraries that have decided to go with Koha. It’s an interesting blog, I’m always curious who decides to go to the Open Source route. This latest announcement about the Derby Public Library cheered me because not only are they going with Koha, they’re implementing YakPac which is a kid-specific OPAC that still has a huge degree of functionality. I show it off a lot in my 2.0 talks because it’s engaging and entertaining and represents the answer to the question “how far can you go with the OPAC?” without a lot of bells and whistles, just fun easy-to-use design.
private party at your library
I like this video of someone rocking out at a public PC at a library even more because I have no idea what the comments are saying. [lisnews]
