Source: NextSpace: OCLC Community Newsletter I just wanted to wholeheartedly recommend the NextSpace: OCLC Community Newsletter which is has lots of good articles on technology and trends in the library. I particularly enjoyed their issues on Web 2.0 and Boomers vs. Gamers. They also cover issues like the 'long tail' effect, and ways to personalise the Web interface for library users.
Speaking of ways to personalise the Web I was recently introduced to Netvibes, a Personal Information Management System (PIMS) for things you are doing on the Web. It allows the creation of and linking of RSS feeds and other API scripted widget boxes that allow you to check multiple mail accounts, your ebay, local weather, etc.
