- This morning I am going to walk you through a short, but informative smorgasbord of technology. We will look at 3 tools.
- The first one is LibX – a toolbar that sits on top of your Web browser and gives your patrons easy access to your library resources, wherever they are on the web. Used by a few academic libraries, not used much by public libraries but it should be used more often.
- When our patrons go on the web, where do they go? It’s easy, simple, straightforward and branded as the places to go.
- Lots of links, lots of text. Not easy to search. Replace this image? Look at other library websites, find one without a text box? Not BRANDED as the place to go.
- Helps you to BRAND your library as the search tool to use.
- Toughest part is not configuring the tool, it’s marketing and training.
- Patrons are always checking items in and out of the library, with tools like 4square, patrons can check THEMSELVES into the library.
- Benefits – lighter than a laptop, long battery life Other uses: with small groups as a social tool Acknowledge competitors, iPad limitations: getting docs in/out display adapters Flash limited font choices
- Which ereaders support the epub format?
- Reeder integrates with Google Reader
