Library Services

I find it funny that http://www.libraryelf.com/ or Elf offers the same things that OCLS http://www.ocls.info/flashDefault.asp?bhcp=1 does, and there isn’t a third party to go through. It just goes to show you that Orange County Library System is continually on the forefront using technology for an advantage to our patrons. All of these things and more are free to OC residents:

Avoid overdues with email alerts
Check multiple library cards
Track books, DVDs, CDs, videos, etc.
Patrons of Orange County, FL, can now ask a Librarian a question and receive an answer by text message.

OCLS on myspace weird, but cool

I knew OCLS had a myspace account http://www.myspace.com/ocls but I never went to the site. Some of the comments are hilarious. The video "OCLS @ Otronicon 2007"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs2xZSxqd1Q from YouTube is nice also.
Seomoz was o.k. http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0/ we looked at blog guides, Classifieds & Business Directories (I can’t believe craigslist came in first), and mapping.

Take Know for an Answer

I'm more of a visual learner so Grokker helped, but I'm also a tactile learner. For my RSS feeds I selected Itunes top 25 songs, Library Leader, and Dictionary.com among other things.
