Open Source Information

I found a site discussing some librarians who want to take cataloging from OCLC and make it a kind of open source.

Live, Learn, Work & Play

I LOVE the library. My career goal is to make the library a place where people will want to go. I especially want to get children into the library at a young age and help parents realize how important reading to a child is. Helping other people find hobbies and programs is wonderful too.
I have early memories of being brought to the main library for summer programs. They would show kids movies down in the basement! Man was it dark down there!!

Yahoo Answers

I went to Yahoo Answers to find out how to clear a fountain pen nib. I posted my question and got one answer. I went in recently to see if any other answers had been posted and found that there were many people asking about how to clear a blocked pen. I found some answers from checking other answers.
