Wikipedia

Editing Wikipedia is so much fun - today I cleaned up the bibliography on Joan of Arc and added a reference to the article on Basil of Caesarea - I think each time we add a new book I will check to see if it can be added to and article in Wikipedia and then link to the OCLC citation

Who Says Librarians don't have a sense of humor?

OK - I was busy yesterday listing to NPR to see if I could detect the fake stories so I never made it online. Imagine my surprise when I read this mornings blog postings to see that OCLC and Google made a surprise announcement yesterday about their upcoming merger. Andrew Pace summed it up best with "Where's our cut?" and Jenny Levine's post on ALA TechSource gave us the insider's perspective.

Wikipedia and our library

I love it when I learn how to do something new. Today I actually ventured into the editing world of Wikipedia and added a bibliographic link to a book in our library through Worldcat. If only more librarians would do this - not to mention I found out how to easily get the citation formatting style for a reference for an item found in OCLC (I know - slap to my forehead)
