Neat! I just read about Vyew on Lifehacker.
Vyew is a free, web-based collaboration tool that provides a feature-rich meeting room with real-time, whiteboard functionality.
This is different from most other meeting programs because everything can run in your browser - nothing else to install.

Check it out at TangognaT.

I've been hearing about the “Putting the 'We' in the Web” article from Newsweek, but I just now got the chance to read the article. Why now? Well I'm in the hospital waiting room - wishing the promised wireless worked and I there it was among the sports magazines.
So, what do I think? [...]

I am on leave from work for 2 weeks. My mom is coming to stay while she recovers from surgery (nothing serious). So now that I finally caught up after CIL I’m going to fall behind again. Just a little warning

Instead of forwarding the email I thought I’d get more people to read this if I posted it here:

The New Orleans Public Library is asking for any and all hardcover and paperback books for people of all ages in an effort to restock the shelves after Katrina.
The staff will assess which titles will be designated [...]

TangognaT asked for a resource yesterday that I think we would all like to see.
I'm trying to see if someone has put together a master list of the library and information science journals that offer tables of contents as RSS feeds. I can find some lists of academic journals in general that offer news feeds, [...]

Rachel Singer Gordon has started her own blog: The Liminal Librarian.
All the “cool kids” have had blogs for months, if not years, and I'm coming to the party a bit late. So, why start one now?
If blogs had been around when I graduated 10 years ago, I may have started one then rather than putting [...]

This makes me happy! I’m house hunting and I don’t know the area we want to move to very well so I like that I can see my results on a map. The problem is that there aren’t a lot of listings yet.
Search Google for “real estate” and you’ll see a search [...]

I’m a little late with this announcement, but check out the Carnival at Tinfoil & Raccoon.

I’ll have to read this more thoroughly and see if Bloglines is still the right tool for me to [...]

There is a new image search engine - and it has the cutest name - Pixsy is a visual search engine that searches images & videos, it offers up your results in 2 tabs (one for video & one for images) and let’s you limit your results by category. It it also very important [...]

Aaron Schmidt has a funny post about “the way we’ve always done it” over at walking paper.
For some reason I've never thought to keep our stapler out on the Reference Desk for people to use. And I get asked for it probably 7 times per shift. Why has it gone back in the [...]

I came into work today to see that my boss had left me a newsletter to read. The newsletter is Law Librarians in the New Millenium and the article is titled: Ignore the Man Behind the Curtain (pages 1 & 7) by Bill Jack.
Jack remembers a time when only librarians knew how to use [...]

Lifehacker points to calcr, an online calculator. It’s kind of neat - not practical because I can use the one on my PC just fine, but this one keep track of every calculation - so if you have to do a lot and you don’t have an adding machine this is a good substitute.
