Things 8 and 9

Ok, 2 pieces of homework in one week again. I'll be honest, I haven't fully checked them out yet so this is just my initial thoughts. Google Calendar: can see how this could be very useful for any libraries that hold events and especially public libraries. As a non-event, specialist library mainly used by colleagues, and sometimes visitors with a particular interest in the subject of our library, I can't see it being beneficial to us. It also strikes me as a limitation that people have to have their own Google Calendar to view yours. Evernote: think this could potentially be useful to me. Part of my role includes compiling a newsletter which highlights websites. At the moment I sometimes have several scrawled Post it notes on my desk to remember web resources and why I like them. This sounds like a much more professional, and organised solution. Will endeavour to check it out further. Once again really pleased that cpd23 has brought these resources to my attention, and always interested to hear how other libraries and librarians are using them.
