Net-networking Schools and Libraries

Rather than quote the whole posting in all its glory, I'll simply point directly to Pat Delaney's post about Net-networking between schools and libraries. It involves blogging, news aggregators, 8th grade poets, jazz, and Love Your Library month (which, BTW, is February, but I hereby grant you license to love your library the other 11 months of the year, too).

Too damn cool.

T-Mobile and Reference Question?

Hey, has anyone else seen the T-Mobile ad (yes, with Catherine Zeta-Jones) in which someone uses a cell phone to call a library to get a question answered? I saw it once a couple of days ago, and it was over before I tuned in to realize what was being said. Unfortunately, I can't find a video or the text online.

Nothing too wild about using a cell phone to call a library anymore. Too bad they didn't use text messaging or a virtual reference service during a game show to prove their point.
