photo of me

Was taken at Antiques Road Show when it was in Wichiya. You can't tell from this photo, but I am holding up a handmade, hand-woven American flag from the early 1800's was their estimate. This flag belongs to a friend of mine, another librarian, who found it in a book he bought for $5!!! Anyway, the flag's value was estimated at between $3000 to$6000 and will be auctioned off, nationally, this June.

delicious

I never could view the Otter's video, on 2 different computers, but I did look at the other delicious one--'inside/out'. I went to UKSM delicious site and found it quite useful for a project I was working on, dealing with statistics. I must admit, it was quite handy to find bookmarks for my subject in one place. However, do I think this would prove useful in a hospital library? I am uncertain. We are a clinical setting and we do much of the research for our clinicians. Additionally, after a survey, the option asked for most was "fewer clicks". So, we try to be careful about adding too much to an already crowded page. Our clients have very little time to spend at our site, and wouldn't probably be interested in social bookmarking at this point in time. Still, I need to keep this option in mind and think aboput how it might be useful.
