It's set ~ 100-200 years in the future and I wonder what librarians think 'the library' of the future will be like? Everything from building, furniture, the librarians themselves, atmosphere.<br />Do you know how I might post/pose this question to an online community of librarians? I'd love to see what fun, creative details/ideas people come up with.<br />Thank you for any help connecting to the community!<br />Rachel Rodriguez<br />RaeVicRodz@aol.com<br />www.RachelRodriguezBooks.comRachel Rodriguezhttp://www.rachelrodriguezbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14369654.post-90904257100223306242007-11-11T19:27:00.000-05:002007-11-11T19:27:00.000-05:00It's similar to igoogle desktop, but not completel...It's similar to igoogle desktop, but not completely. Actually, if someone had their online lives completely in Google - mail, modules, calendar, google docs - then Goowy probably would be overkill, except for the online storage aspect, perhaps. But, the average patron (That I see, anyway) that relies on the library for internet access is probably not all "googled out" like that.<BR/><BR/>I like Goowy because it's easy and the interface looks familiar. But they are a bit similar.jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422462308023065350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14369654.post-62680263165259748492007-11-11T11:58:00.000-05:002007-11-11T11:58:00.000-05:00How does this differ from theigoogle personalized ...How does this differ from the<BR/>igoogle personalized desktop?<BR/>hmmm. <BR/><BR/>debKids Place Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295648248350118119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14369654.post-8735556767332497422007-11-06T20:53:00.000-05:002007-11-06T20:53:00.000-05:00Hey, this is cool!
