Science News from the Reed Library - Linda Maddux's blog is an excellent example of what you can do in a "solo" setting (in this case, a solo science librarian). It's a Blogger site, of course, but she's using the FTP function. This not only allows Linda to use her library's URL as the address, but it also saves everything she's writing to her library's server. This is a good model for creating a Blogger page: she has links going back and forth between the blog and library website, and she's indexing her entries to compensate for the lack of categories.

PrintWhatYouLike.com {beta}: Save money and the environment printing only what you want.
Have you ever printed a webpage only to find your printout consisted mostly of empty space, ads and other junk you didn’t want? Then you try to copy and paste into Word and print that way - a lot of time & energy spent. PrintWhatYouLike is a webpage editor that lets you control how webpages look when printed. You can add the PrintWhatYouLike bookmarklet and click it when you are on a page you would like to print and the page will automatically open in PrintWhatYouLike. Sounds interesting.

Learning is...

"Learning is what most adults will do for a living in the 21st century." Perelman

"Who dares to teach must never cease to learn." John Cotton

"I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think." Socrates

"Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." W. B. Yeats

"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence." Abigail Adams

"Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave." Henry Peter Broughan

"The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change."  Carl Rogers

"Education costs money, but then so does ignorance."  Sir Claus Moser

"True education is a kind of never ending story - a matter of continual beginnings, of habitual fresh starts, of persistent newness."  J.R.R.Tolkien

"What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul." Joseph Addison

"I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me." St. Augustine

"The question is not, how much does the youth know when he has finished his education but how much does he care and about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? and, therefore, how full is the life he has before him? …....In the end we shall find that only those ideas which have fed his life are taken into the being of the child........" Charlotte Mason

"For all our lives we are human beings, in an active state of learning, responding, understanding. Education extends to all of life. In fact, an educational system that says, one bright summer's day in the dawn of my youth, 'There. Now you are educated. This piece of paper says so,' is doing me a gross disfavor. The truly educated person has only had many doors of interest opened. He knows that life will not be long enough to follow everything through fully." Susan Schaeffer Macaulay

Wrap-up time!

Our weekly lessons have come to an end but hey! we can keep on playing and learning... and playing.

Sarah's Musings:
Using RSS feeds and the state library listservs are great for keeping up on what's happenin' in the library world. Delicious is still one of my one of my favorite things. And I have met a new friend, Google Docs; it has shown it's usefullness when sharing documents with others.
And, a person can have way to much fun with Flickr and YouTube.

Wikis

Wikis are neat! I saw a lot of examples of what you can use wikis for and have a few ideas of my own that I'd like to try sometime. I liked the Libraries of Stevens County wiki and that it isn't only about the library but they are gathering information about the whole county. I think it is great for the library to create a community/county guide. I also looked around at places you can create your own wiki - PBwiki, wikispaces, wetpaint, and some others. PBwiki for Libraries seemed interesting; you can create an intranet and a public website.
