Recently, I started to realize that our page on the proxy bookmarklet (a bookmark that allows quick access to full text articles via the library's subscription even when the user doesn't use the library portal as a starting point) is extremely popular, despite being burred deep in our current portal design.

My recent blog post on "heretical thoughts" where I played devil's advocate and expressed doubts and how libraries weren't yet successful in getting users to use mobile services.

Location based services like FourSquare, Gowalla , Loopt enable users to check-in at different venues.

This is a blog devoted to covering new tech that might be used for libraries to benefit users.

In a previous post entitled, What are mobile friendly library sites offering?

First off, for those reading this from a RSS feed reader, do note that there is something wrong with the RSS feed and as such my last post "12 good library videos that spoofs movies or tv" from last week is not showing up in the feed.

Are libraries really the "next Big Pop Culture Phenomenon" ? We have all read about the old spice libraries viral videos (and spoofs) of course. There's also, Librarians Go Gaga: 9 Of The Funniest Library Videos. But perhaps the easiest way to get a hit viral library movie would be to spoof a tv show or movie. Here I list some interesting library video spoofs I have come across.

Edit : I edited quite a bit based on comments below. Clearly, there's a lot I don't know about these reference managers, and there's possibly some PBKC problems involved! So the results shouldn't be used to claim X is better than Y.  Also since I blogged, a lot of improvements has being made so the data here should be considered outdated.

I've recently began thinking about how to be more productive.

One of the keys themes of my blog is how to use free tools to get alerts of news of interest.

Note :This was blogged in July 2010, since then most of the reference managers have improved substantially so the information here can be considered outdated.
