Four Months, Two Books, and a Weekly Magazine

I’ve had my Kindle ebook reader for just about four months now, and as I suspected, the amount of book reading I’m doing is going up. I know two books doesn’t sound like a lot and some people read that in a week, but for me, this is a big difference. Before the Kindle, [...]

Add SMS to Your III Catalog!

Last week, I highlighted Ed Vielmetti’s thoughts about adding covers to the list of overdue books you have checked out, as well as the ability to text the location of an item to your cell phone.

Using Wordle in Schools “The idea of creating Tag clouds is not new or unique but the Wordle application offers those in schools with a uniquely visual way to view and/or analyse some text. It is very simple to use and the results are created quickly. The style can be changed easily, if required, and easily [...]

Overdue Books 2.0

(Of course, Ed’s library is the phenomenal Ann Arbor District Library, which already offers more web-based services than most other libraries, but the simple openness of their systems makes it easy for [...]

It’s more than a Field of Dreams approach, just tossing games into a room; I have worked with, read about, and heard from [...]

The BOCES guys have kept pushing forward with this work, and I really appreciate how they make it available for everyone. In preparation for this week’s [...]
