To Go: Webmeisters
News from Beth
We discussed where to find images you can use on your web sites at the last Webmeister meeting, so I created a quick and dirty how-to guide on Free Image Sites and Online Editors and added it to the Webmeister How To Files. Take a look and see what you think!
I also checked with Rick on the OWLS SurveyMonkey subscription. It is for OWLS system staff use only, but you could still use the free version or choose to only subscribe for a month or two (at $20 per month) if you had plans for a larger survey that you would only need available for a short period of time.
We also discussed posting examples of good library blog examples. Here are a few I have found - feel free to share other examples you know of for us to post here, too.
- Ann Arbor District Library
- Reader's Club Book Reviews (PLCMC)
- Push To Talk: A Blog for Teens (Seattle Public Library)
- PaperCuts (Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library)
More information can be found on the blogging libraries wiki.
Let Evan and me know if there are other questions we can answer for you!
