A couple days ago USA Today published an article about how libraries are adapting to the Internet. The article focused mostly on the availability of computers. A number of patrons were interviewed. One had this to say:

"You should be able to walk into any library and find Internet service ...."

That statement made me cringe a little, but I didn't really know why until later when a co-worker (and co-blogger) referenced Wired magazine's monthly "Expired, Tired and Wired" feature. Then it hit me.

TIRED: Finding Internet service in a library.
WIRED: Finding a library in the Internet

Any suggestion on what has "Expired?"

Thanks to Resource Shelf for pointing out the article.

Hey hey, we are so proud. WorldCat.org made the New York Times and International Herald Tribune today!

• The Tip of the Week is exclusively about WorldCat and how to look up materials at your library on the Web.


• The Tribune story is part of a larger technology assistance article, but it makes a nice mention of the Firefox and Facebook widgets for WorldCat, too.

Hooray for libraries making the news. If we all share the story with someone we know, maybe we'll make the "top e-mailed stories" list!
