I checked out other Library's

I checked out other library's to see and learn about what they are doing with social technology.

Some of the web 2.0 ideas that I found most interesting to use in the library:


1. "My Library DV" is cool but you must have a windows system. What about all the mac users? In this day and age Mac users should not be ignored! (besides, how can this be social if we are ignoring a large percentage of users?)

2. We want to find out what motivates you! "Big Blue Labs Image Generator" offers everything you need to turn your favorite photos into a motivational poster.(This was a very fun way to promote the library, have users use the generator with pictures of their family reading etc. I really liked this one)

3. Teen Library in second life! Very cool virtual world where librarians are meeting with teens and turning an entire Library island into fun and entertainment for teens. (So much like the Sims game that I used to spend hours playing; only difference is this has real significance) This would be alot of fun to participate in. I'm very curious to see where this project goes.
