Checking Out mp3 players @thelibrary

Loved reading this new post at the BSU library's blog, @thelibrary.

What a great way to let students and staff try out mp3 players while trying out the eaudiobook service.

Do we ignore our digital users?

OCLC/WorldCat Fiction Finder

I re-found OCLC Fiction Finder recently.  It's a project currently in Beta mode from OCLC Research.  From the site, "With FictionFinder, you can search for books, eBooks, and audiobooks
by titles, authors, ISBNs, and other information such as literary
awards and book summaries. You can also browse the FictionFinder database by genre, fictional character, imaginary place or setting, and subject."

Cite This Item

Did you know that when searching WorldCat.org, a user can click on "Cite This Item" from the record view to see a variety of formats for citation?  Pretty nice feature for those of us who struggle proper citation skills.  There are also options to "Export to EndNote" and "Export to RefWorks."

8 Random Things

There's something being passed around among the library blogs these last couple of days.  Authors of the various blogs are being asked to list 8 random things about themselves that possibly others don't already know.  I thought about doing that here with a different take, here are 8 things that might not be known about ICFL:

1.  In 2006, ICFL was offered assistance from 79 volunteers that contributed 8,979 hours in support of ICFL services and programs.
