Well, this bog is focused on two things, my work in libraries and what I am reading and can recommend. As I have noted before my political writing takes place at Kos and religious comments over at Street Prophets.
So have I been slacking off? Nope. Here’s what I’ve been writing on libraries, all posted at McMillan Memorial Library:
Connecting with Friends and Family
A presentation covering email. instant messaging, VOIP, video email and video calls, including Tokbox and Skype. Though general in nature, this program can be easily adapted for use with military families. Put this together when we added webcams. We needed to have a training session and this is the outline for it.
A brief look at how McMillan created four different Google Map mashups. I put together four different projects using Google Maps and the Library’s existing digital content. Here’s the how-to.
McMillan’s Google Maps mashup of the cemeteries of Wood County. Here’s one of the products, a map of the location of the sixty plus cemeteries in Wood County, Wisconsin.
Webcams @ McMillan
In March 2009, the Library added public webcams. We use both Skype and Tokbox to provide video messaging and email. This covers the how-to, including what equipment we used, what it cost and what our policies are.
I have been a slacker about posting book reviews, so I try and catch up.
