- Librarians’ Internet Index:
Every week, LII staff and contributors identify Web resources and enter draft records into the LII database. Then our librarian-editors review and upgrade records to ensure they meet LII selection criteria. - from the “About LII” website (via LibrarianInBlack.net) - Virtual Visit to Australia:
A US librarian conducted a talk via the web to a group of librarians from the State Library of Victoria, Australia. They used Skype and Jybe to communicate. Interesting way to do a talk. Maybe we can invite some librarians from the States to do similar sessions with the librarians here. - Games, Chat Barred at Honolulu libraries:
Patrons at the Hawaii State Public Library system are been banned from playing online games and using chat applications at the public access terminals. The reason for the ban is because these applications were using huge amounts of bandwidth and caused systemwide slowdowns. (via LISNews.com) - Meebo:
An online meta-IM service that allows you to chat on AIM, Y! Messenger, ICQ and MSN on any browser as it is AJAX-based. Might be useful if we do decide to offer IM reference service as they would no longer be a need to install chat applications on the computers at the reference counters.
