WiFi Hotels
After our experiences in Washington at CIL a bunch of bloggers are wondering what next year will be like at a new hotel. Well Lifehacker has a post about the Best and worst hotels for WiFi. I haven’t read the reports yet, but I’m sure they’re handy.
Another Tech Savvy Staff Tip
I was reflecting on what I learned last week at the conference and I thought I should share with you all one way that we’re trying to create Tech Savvy Staff – and it’s free! We (meaning I) look for free webinars offered through places like OPAL, SirsiDynix and KM World and invite the entire [...]
Us vs Them – Why??
It makes me sad. Well it makes me angry first, but then when that passes I’m sad. I was debating whether to say anything or not – considering how upset my last (seemingly innocent) post made people, but no one is in the library yet – so I only have you guys to share with. [...]
Another Online Word Processor
Unlike Writely or ZohoWriter, ajaxWrite does not allow for collaboration, but it does look just like Word. There is no online storage, but you can save the file to your computer as PDF, DOC, or other popular formats. You need Firefox 1.5 or higher to give this little tool a whirl.

And fun if you were in the same session because you know exactly what part he was sketching. Technorati [...]
The Wikipedia/Britannica Debate
Back in December there was a lot of news coverage regarding an article in Nature magazine that stated that both Wikipedia and Britannica had a similar number of errors. Well Britannica has replied with a 20 page report (which I have not read all of – for reasons already stated – I’m way behind) In [...]
DigiTech Props
I mentioned that Darlene Fichter had great props for the DigiTech Forum – well Nancy Garmen from Info Today got a great picture. Make sure you check it out. PS. I’m catching up on my reading so I’ll probably have more CIL summaries to share with you from the other bloggers. Technorati Tags: cil2006, cil06
