I heart Free Library of Philadelphia

So after reading about podcasts I was looking around at other library systems to see if and how they use podcasting. I didn't find too much but maybe I wasn't using the correct search methods I don't know. Anyway I found that the Philadelphia library uses them for guest speakers or at least for Joe Biden when he was there to talk about his book. Since I couldn't come up with any ways that we could use podcasts other than well maybe we could do book reviews of books that are popular with our patrons? lame. Since that’s all I could come up with I was impressed by their use of podcasting, pretty cool.
Check it out

But OMG the high tech goodie they have that would be sooo lovely to have here? Online payment of fines!!!!!

We gotta get this

Maybe this is not as amazing as I think it is maybe other systems use this and everyone already knows all about this option. Oh well I didn't and I'm psyched we should totally get it.
So that's why

  2. Do you mean hiding the html, so it's a hot link? There's a tool in Blogger: over where you compose, it's the icon that's a globe with a link.

    The html is:
    words you want highlighted
