Stumbled on Random Article

I found this article, which may or may not be of relevence depending on what exactly we decide to do. I know that for the assignment we need to have an example of libraries using our software tool effectivly (or not) and I thought this may tie in somehow...

From what I remeber volunteering at parkdale school OPAC is a database that hold information on books, periodicals, etc., including publication info and descriptions of books? Although the wikipedia definition is telling me that I may be thinking of something else... but you know wiki.... it may or maynot be correct :)

After the exam

I was thinking that maybe we could get together after the exam and talk about what area of Librarything we are most interested in. Perhaps we could divide the software into three areas and each discuss our area as we do show and tell on a laptop? Any other ideas? I will also bring a summary of the important things that I learned from the articles I found.

Okay so I figured out how to add a "thingie" (their words not mine) but I have not fiqured out how to add a widget to the blog which looks really cool. I will try again later. I am still working on reading the articles and taking notes from them . I am not finding them that helpful in navigating the site, I found the tour and the intro much more informative. I really like the Zeitgeist with the member recommendations to my library. I think it has alot of potential for what to read next.

On the blog

Hi I finally registered, it was painful. I got some articles from the databases and I will summarize and put notes up on the blog before Friday. I will spend some time playing around this weekend to get an idea of Librarything and then maybe we can connect the following Tuesday or Thursday to see how we want to present and what areas each of us will concentrate on. I don't think I will see you guys until Thursday as I am in the "to Z" class today.
