Mashup

I have copied an image from google and use "Big Huge Lab" to create a puzzle

Mashups

Library can create a map of the library collections on the OPAC or library web sites - when select each section of the collection - it will have a pop up with an explanation of what is and break down the collection into different contents - good for parents to found out where and what collections to found information they want for their kid's leisure reading or school works. It will also be used to educate the children on how to use and found information in the library - more interesting this way instead of just information typed and place on the OPAC /website.

Below is a map that indicate which countries that I have been to - created use Big Huge Labs

Podcasts and audio

As some of the events held by the library have limited space available, and the time has set up conflict with client's time. The library can place the podcasts recording the event on the library web site for the client who would like to come but unable to. e.g. an event on "How to manage your stress - HSC studies", some of the youth cannot come to library to attend this event, but they can still access to it via the podcasts on the library website.

Answer board

It might be nice to set up an "answer board" so that customer can asked question and answer by a Library staff, or other customer can add their bits of comments on it. e.g. if someone want to know things about gardening or traveling information - library staff supplied from the books etc, then another customer might have actually be an expert in that topic area, so they can supply extra comments on the topic area.

Customer might also post opinion and comments about certain item held inside the library, and another customer or a library staff might answer and indicate that if they like a certain item, they might like to read another similar item.

Librarything

Another try to set up to search Libarything from this blog

Del.icio.us, Technorati and Librarythings

I have place some bookmarks into the del.icio.us site, and used the blogging (daily blog post) option to set up a link - not quite sure it works or not. This can be set up so that library staff can be keep up to date with all the library subscriptions from one place - set up the bookmarks in the del.icio.us, then set up so that an entry containing your latest del.icio.us links to your blog automatically updated every day. Library staff can access the informations instead of the paper print copy.

It is great for research assistance as any new updates will be automatically comes up, but it is too many, it will be information overloaded and takes a lot of time to goes through the lists. But it is also good as an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere?

When searching "bookmobile" in Technorati, the result of the simple and advance are the same - except when enter the word in "the exact search phrase" search query field, the result are different.

I have set up a link to search Librarything in this blog - hope it works
