the big house library

welcome to our newest social site: slinkset! :)

 
slinkset is a social news aggregator and community feedback generator from the nice people at posterous (we use them for our china trip blog).

i learned about it from weebly tech support and looked into it. turns out in the library with the lead pipe uses slinkset for their news feed.

so far i'm just using it to load content from our various RSS feeds (twitter, flickr, this blog).

but i'm hoping students and staff will use bighouselibrary.slinkset.com to suggest new services, features, and materials; comment on what's going on; and rate what they like (and what they don't). we'll see! :)

 
back in september i blogged about the super-slow internet connection @ casa...

since then the network has been a little bit better, but we are far from being out of the woods by a long shot! websites are still blocked; wi-fi is still a fantasy; the handful of computers we have are still ancient (and growing older everday); and lcds projectors are still too few and too unavailable.

technology needs on campus abound, at least in my not-so-humble opinion. but i don't care about my opinion. i care about yours -- the students! so please cast your ballot in the two polls above. and, if you feel so inclined, leave some comments (annonymous or not) on this blog post. people in power just might be apparently listening... =)

I know you're looking at this website! I can tell from the site traffic data! =) Thank you for visiting bighouselibrary.com -- I hope it's a sign that you like the library, but it could mean just the opposite! Good or bad, we want to know what you think, what you like, what you could do without, and what's missing. Please take a second to sign our online guest book. We love reading your letters and notes. Having them online just will make them that much funner! =)
