Internet Archive has introduced a new subscription service that allows you to create your own archive called Archive-it. This has some wonderful applications for government information, which is increasingly finding its way online and can move off of it just as easily. It is aimed at libraries and institutions and allows you to archive up to 100 pages. This may be an easy way to see if your institution wants to step into the world of web archiving in a fuller manner. Check it out at: http://www.archive-it.org/learn-more.html
Well, maybe not so much about me, but what this blog will be about. I realize this should have been the first blog, but there you have it.
Welcome to my little peice of the web! This is where I will rant about life, but mostly about library related issues. This could run the gamit, from technology in libraries, to simply what’s new and interesting in the library world. As a reference librarian with responsibilites in US and International gov pubs, you will also be bombarded with what’s happening in the ever changing, volatile world of gov pubs. I promise it won’t be too dry! Hope you visit again!
I’m attending a learning technology symposium today. The first session was comparing wikis, blogs, and other collaborative tools. It was a very basic session for me, as blogs, chatting, and the world of rss have become an integral part of my world, particularly my work. I keep forgetting that others, particularly faculty, are not necessarily as in tune with the tech world. It’s a bit of an eye opening experience and I only hope to learn more as the day goes along. I’ll be sure to fill you in on further revelations.
