Dewey or BISAC

Read blog by Librarian.net about two libraries changing over from the Dewey system to BISAC. Interesting read. Something to think about. Check it out at Karen Scneider's blog at: http://www.techsource.ala.org/blog/2007/07/raising-arizona.html.

All Consuming

Found a cool site on the Librarian in Black blog. It is called ALL CONSUMING. Check it out at http://www.allconsuming.net . The site entails sharing the latest and greatest in Books, Music, Movies, Food & Drink and Other. You get to read and review and share your thoughts on all or any of the topics.

Tech Support

Found a site by MLS student called Life as I Know It: http://scruffynerf.wordpress.com/ . Jenny listes the five great tips for giving tech support to patrons in need from the Librarian in Black site. She goes on to give her tips she has learned from her life experiences of working with people needing tech help. Good reminder to think like the patron and how you would like to be treated. I have found very patient people surrounding me in my back-to-school endeavor. Thank you for the support.

Second Life Info

Went to Ms. Atkin's blogsite the Unlibrarian and read about some of the sessions she attended at the ALA Convention. She mentioned the website http://secondlife.com/education. This is a good site for educators who are interested in using Second Life in their teaching. There is a Teen Second Life strictly for ages 13-17 year olds. You need to be 18 to enter the adult Second Life. How do sites get monitored for appropriate ages? All very interesting. Check it out.
