Pandora http://librarianbyday.net/2008/03/04/pandora/ http://librarianbyday.net/2008/03/04/pandora/#comments Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:29:54 +0000 Bobbi Newman http://librarianbyday.wordpress.com/?p=117 As part of our Library Learning 2.1 program I wrote a post about Pandora, it went live to the staff yesterday and they are just loving it. Imagine my surprise when I see a comment from Lucia, a staff member at Pandora. How exciting! She left some great tips along with these comments: It’s great to hear that librarians are loving Pandora! I myself left a library gig to work at Pandora. I can see how headphones + pandora may be necessary in a library, at times, since you can’t exactly crank the speaker volume up to “10.” Francesca: Feel free to tell Jim Scott to send us a CD, and we’ll take a listen. Any time you find we don’t have artists in our collection you think we should have, feel free to email suggest-music at pandora dot com. What great customer service! They found us, answered some of our concerns, made suggestions and left some great tips!Similar Posts: The Search for Prizes Get Your Geek On Library Learning 2.1]]>

lib.rario.us? http://librarianbyday.net/2008/02/29/librarious/ http://librarianbyday.net/2008/02/29/librarious/#comments Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:12:54 +0000 Bobbi Newman http://librarianbyday.wordpress.com/?p=111 In my search for a way to catalog my music CDs, DVDs and Games similar to LibraryThing or Goodreads I came across lib.rario.us. I’ve been trying it out and it seems pretty neat. I’ve added a few things to try it out. So far so good, I don’t think it’s as pretty or as functional as the books only sites, but it’s new so it could be. What I like: The “add to lib.rario.us” bookmarklet It does more than books! Hurray! Finally a way to add my music CDs, DVDs and video Games. What I wish were different: I’d like to be able see my collection in different modes – just images, sort of like a tag cloud or just a text list. I don’t see a way to search for people I know, am I missing something? Is anyone else using this? How do you like it? Is there something you’re using that you like better?Similar Posts: LibraryThing adds Find Friends feature Social Media Periodic Table I’m not narcisitic, you’re eavesdropping]]>
