I finished reading The Complete Idiots Guide to Creating A Social Network.  It makes me want to learn more about Buddypress which is an extension of Wordpress.  I requested Buddypress for Dummies through interlibrary loan.

This morning, I checked the displays and gift books.  I also updated the Twitter and Facebook pages for the library.

Wikipedia has recently started an initiative to work with libraries.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries

The library has the computer lab open for academic use from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m..  I finished doing the Javascript Essentials Training video on Lynda.com.  I understand it a little better, but am a long way from programming in Javascript.

I spent a little time on Earlyword http://www.earlyword.com/  today looking at the news.  A lot of the news is coming out of the San Diego Comic Con.  Hopefully, I will get to go to New York Comic Con.  They are starting professional registrations for New York Comic Con on July 23, 2012. There is a list for BEA 12 Librarians Picks on Earlyword http://www.earlyword.com/librarians-shout-n-share-bea-12/

Michael Chabon is one of my favorite authors.  I especially liked The Yiddish Policemen's Union.  I am looking forward to his next book, Telegraph Avenue.
