    "Libraries' most devoted e-users aren't choosing using the web over coming to the library in person. Rather, they are choosing to do both."

Support Your Local Library - 0 views

  •  
    An interesting and quickly understood set of infographics about supporting libraries, only downside is while they're easily copied to websites there's doesn't seem to be an ability to print them onto posters.

    I'm not certain if all these are necessary (such as a personal voice in social media) but others are (creating a basic mobile website) and show some of the ideas currently in vogue.

Hill may freeze THOMAS in digital past - 0 views

  •  
    THOMAS is the website the Library of Congress uses for keeping an online record of bills. As the author notes it's not easy to get a picture of what Congress is working on by looking at one bill at a time. It's possible to get a more overall picture by downloading the data and number crunching it, but it looks like the site will not allow bulk downloads of data, only scraping information by way of scripts.

    Say, Sharla, would this be something our customers might be interested in?  I'm curious about it myself.

    Yeah, this looks very promising. Interestingly enough it is through Lyrassis, the company from which I am considering purchasing online courses. Go figure! How do we promote? Are all of the members on the training listserv? Can we just forward this email out on it?
  •  
    Not all, just some, but this might be the kind of thing we'd cross-post on (i.e., to the Mobius-users-l list as well as the Training-l list). Christopher is usually the one who posts to the lists about training, and he does it across several lists; you may want to check with him. As far as promoting, I don't know-- first of all, will Lyrassis let us promote their stuff? I don't see why they wouldn't, but you never can be sure with some providers. But the lists are usually where a lot of the action is. We might also want to do a blog post to the MOBIUS website, too.
  •  
    Ok. I'll talk to Christopher this afternoon about promoting training.
  •  
    FYI, the training list is largely defunct. It was populated by people who were interested in discussing training with the MOBIUS office, but I was the only one who ever posted anything.
  •  
    Yeah, that's often how lists go. People are always afraid to speak up.
