"Links of interest" is an irregular series of posts I started making recently to MPOW's internal blog, based on items culled from FriendFeed, Twitter, and Google Reader. I started thinking it was a shame not to have it available publicly, so here it is. NB Dates on future posts will be in dd/mm/yy format....
Lessons from the library booth at a local festival: or how not to engage customers
A blog post on New Citation Rules in the 7th Edition of the MLA Handbook.
Merck makes phony peer-review journal to promote a drug, published by Elsevier.
Google Maps adds historical maps of Japan which turn out to accidentally facilitate discrimination.
UCOL tweets that: "UCOL Library now has over 20 wireless laptops students can use anywhere on campus. You can borrow a laptop for up to 3 hours."
National Library explains Twitter - they compare it to Personal Items columns in early 20th century newspapers, describe the feedback and interaction they've had for their account, and talk about how they do it.
In order to better integrate my blog with my website, better manage comment spam, and reduce my dependence on Google, this blog has moved to http://www.deborahfitchett.com/blog/. In order to avoid broken links I won't be deleting content from here, but no new content will be added, so please update your bookmarks and feeds.
