@teresatis142 Not sure about this. While using technology is great, I still believe that books are the heart and soul of a library #tis142

[Alvin L @AlvinLis125]

@teresatis142 I think stronger. Much better to have resources available to the public than sitting unused in an archive somewhere #tis142

[Alvin L @AlvinLis125]

@TinaLIS125 Love it! I guess every new technological innovation takes time to adapt to, even one as seemingly innocuous as a book! #tis142

@aliceTIS142 But remember, don't be a glasshole ;) http://t.co/zOI9d10rG1 #tis142

Came across an amusing comic strip. I used to work in a library where almost every day seemed like this http://t.co/9FYggLhtXl #tis142

@Bibliothekatze I found it very useful for a previous group assignment. Easy to use, acessible & good integration with Google Drive #tis142

[Alvin L @AlvinLis125]

@teresatis142 Bring on the skateboarding cats! But yes, will be interesting to see what effect these new piracy laws will have #tis142

@DeannaTis142 With the increased uptake of portable devices, I would go with a BYOD with WiFi service model over public access PCs #tis142

[Alvin L @AlvinLis125]

@aliceTIS142 Date due slips did come in handy at times. When weeding, you could see at a glance when a book was last borrowed #tis142

[Alvin L @AlvinLis125]

@Bibliothekatze Very cool, now that would be a tasty read! Gives new meaning to media consumption #tis142

An interesting blog post about how Bing is linking to library eBook collections in its search results http://t.co/HU6zyGnjf8 #tis142

@AnaBrawls @Infoventurer Tablets are used in the library I work at for roving services, room bookings and online user registration #tis142

[Alvin L @AlvinLis125]

@RhodoraTIS14 @lis125_manning That being said, 5 minute sessions seems somewhat impractical. 15 minutes would be more reasonable #tis142

[Alvin L @AlvinLis125]

@RhodoraTIS14 It depends on demand and available resources. Having some PCs with shorter sessions provides greater flexibilty & availability

[Alvin L @AlvinLis125]

@RhodoraTIS14 It could come in handy. Using a strategy of fishing where the fish are could help libraries to engage with a new audience.

An interesting blog post on the difficulties libraries have dealing with IT departments http://t.co/nmJI08h4Zd #tis142

[Alvin L @AlvinLis125]

@Bibliothekatze Accessbility is the key. I see a library's eResource collection as being an online branch that you can access 24/7 #tis142
