Widgets and other neat free stuff<\/b>
Gale Widgets<\/a> aren’t new but are nicer than ever. If I understand correctly, the PowerSearch widget searches across all Gale databases subscribed to by one’s institution. To create a widget use our location ID “canterbury” – the javascript code provided can then be pasted into LibGuides. (New box -> Rich text -> Add text -> plain text editor -> paste)<\/p>\n

SpringShare gives instructions for adding WolframAlpha’s improved search widget to LibGuides<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elsevier provides all their journal covers free<\/a>. (“These cover images may be used in systems in which Elsevier material is offered to end users. Unauthorized use and\/or modification of these images is strictly prohibited.”) Perhaps could be used in a future generation of our catalogue to complement book cover images? If you just want a single image to promote a journal on LibGuides, replace the number in this link with your journal’s issn: http:\/\/www1.elsevier.com\/inca\/covers\/store\/issn\/00016918.gif <\/p>\n

Text message reference<\/b>
Penny Dugmore writes about Unitec’s launch of a text reference service<\/a>, and Elyssa Kroski’s Library Journal column on Text Message Reference: Is It Effective?<\/a>. Oh, and just in: a summary about a recent presentation on text reference<\/a>, with stats on libraries offering it and more links.<\/p>\n

Library humour<\/b>
A library-themed filk of Gilbert and Sullivan’s I’ve got a little list<\/a>.<\/p>\n
