Library Link Round-Up

• Toronto librarians strike continues.
• Recently digitized works from Harvard's Houghton Library.
• Interesting ideas about "post-campus" (i.e. all-online) learning.
• Librarian Twitter bingo!
• Unpublished Hemingway letters made available by JFK Library.

Happy Friday!

I'm always super productive on Fridays because I hate doing work (school or otherwise) on the weekends, so I try to get it all done before I go home! So I'll be wrapping up my first week of Spring quarter today. Woohoo.

Friday Library Link Round-Up

• NYT online paywall moved from 20 articles/month to 10.
• More than 80,000 of Einstein's documents going online.
• What will you do with your personal digital archives?
• What do you think of a digital Copyright card catalog?

Sorry there aren't so many... only a few stories caught my eye this week.

Friday Library Link Round-Up

Some interesting links from the week:

• Encyclopedia Britannica to stop printing books.
• Library Journal's Movers & Shakers 2012.
• Kurt from Glee will be at ALA Annual.

Question: Any other bloggers out there who do link round-ups, do you find that a link you found early in the week is untimely by the time you post your list? I feel like the Encyclopedia Britannica story is old news now...
