		<title>Project Gutenberg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Project Gutenberg is all about making what is legally accessible, as accessible as possible. Not only do they offer thousands of books, often scanned to retain the orinal formating, illustrations and FEEL of the book, but now offering audio books read by volunteers and very nicely done, too.
Our library can&#8217;t afford a downloadable collection of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=calilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=1933318&post=39&subd=calilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

heh &#8230; I just had to share. No I&#8217;m not an achievement whore but I need one. (I&#8217;m stuck on a volcanic planet in Mass Effect)  but I&#8217;d be in such trouble with the Spoiler Whore..
SUCH trouble since I&#8217;m always tempted peek at my presents and check out the end of a book I&#8217;m thinking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=calilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=1933318&post=36&subd=calilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Goodreads and LibraryThing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 A good friend asked me today an interesting question which&#8211; as we chatted&#8211; boiled down to this: is there room in your life for LibraryThing and Goodreads?  Is it either or both, and more importantly (remember the sloth factor: ease = good!)  how?
The answer is yes, both and here&#8217;s why and how

		<title>MASS EFFECT for XBOX 360</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When I read Sesslers Soapbox on Fox News treatment of Mass Effect, I watched the news show for myself on YouTube, then went out and bought the game.
I have to admit, I couldn&#8217;t get all the way through the segment&#8211; it was just that bad.  The panel on Fox News was worthless. Why were [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=calilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=1933318&post=34&subd=calilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Social Reference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Seems there are more and more incarnations of social reference these days. In my definition of the term, not sure if it IS a term, but to me, it must always include that it is free. 
Here are some Types of Social Reference:
     
Global Reference Services like Question Point,  Ask [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=calilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=1933318&post=31&subd=calilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I love Philadelphia!
It&#8217;s  beautiful, clean and a great walking city. I was able to walk around yesterday, and see some historic sights. My favorite was Christ Church&#8217;s Cemetary. I had chills the whole time. I think you&#8217;ll see my obsession with Gothic cemeteries by the number of photos I took.  LOL!
Last night, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=calilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=1933318&post=28&subd=calilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Zen and the art of convenience&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

In my never ending quest to find the easiest path, I like to try out different tools and applications to see if it is really easier and convenient.
I think the best criteria&#8211; at least for me, is:
A) How much effort is it to remember its there
B) How much effort is it to use
C) Do I find myself [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=calilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=1933318&post=25&subd=calilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>free fast foto editing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Online photo editing is more important to public libaries than we may realize at first glance.
Why?
Because of the restrictions on downloading we place on our public computers.
Because of that, applications such as Adobe Photoshop Elements, were unavailable to our patrons.
Now, with Web-based online editing, patrons can crop or enhance their images without downloadable software, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=calilibrarian.wordpress.com&blog=1933318&post=19&subd=calilibrarian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
