Resource Shelf Blog – http://web.resourceshelf.com/go/resourceblog
Twelve new postings! I choose two to discuss briefly:
September 8:
From Official Google Blog – “Google Acquires Zagat”
Zagat is a website that reviews for restaurants using surveys by users of the site, both members and nonmembers. The restaurant locations are throughout the United States and also include 24 international locations. The ratings are based on a 30 point scale. The previous owners of the website, Nina and Tim Zagat, started the surveys 32 years ago and will remain as co-Chairs.
September 12:
From press release – “Springer Releases Web Tool for Downloading MARC Records and eBook Title Lists” The article was very short and did not provide much information beyond the headline.
ALA TechSource – http://www.alatechsource.org/blog
Two new postings:
September 7-Daniel A. Freeman
“Continuing the Conversation: Using Google Apps for a More Efficient Library”
The blog has a few articles that are ongoing and begin with “Continuing the Conversation.” Since I am new to the conversation it can be a bit confusing!
A workshop about Google Apps was taking place and had finished its first session. A couple of the subjects were a comparison of Google Apps versions and why you should use Google Apps over Gmail.
September 8-Patrick Hogan
The blog discusses an upcoming workshop by Buffy Hamilton: “Creating Subject Guides for the 21st-Century Library.” There are four preliminary readings for the workshop and it sounds rather interesting. A couple of them are “Getting More From Your Subject Guides by Going 2.0” and “Pathfinders, Subject Guides, & Thematic Resources.”
The workshop costs $50.00
