Woman Reading A Novel, Vincent Van Gogh, December 1888

Daily Thoughts 10/26/2011

This morning, I updated the Twitter and Facebook acccount at the library.  I also spent some more time reading Public Parts by Jeff Jarvis.  The author is describing the issues surrounding Google Earth which contains satellite photographs of many streets and houses.

This morning, I also finished taking the Lynda.com class for HTML 5 whch was an introduction to the new technologies coming out that are part of HTML.

New York Public Library's Ebook Lending Increased 81%

What is interesting about these two articles is that they are from nonlibrary news sources.  It says that people are interested in ebooks in the library setting.
