24/7 access to the world's largest online collection of books and
journal articles in the humanities and social sciences, plus magazine
and newspaper articles. You can search each and every word of all of
the books and journal articles in the collection. You can read every
title cover to cover. This rich, scholarly content -- selected by
professional collection development librarians -- is not available
elsewhere on the Internet. Undergraduate, high school, graduate
students, and Internet users of all ages have found Questia to be an
invaluable online resource. Anyone doing research or just interested
in topics that touch on the humanities and social sciences will find
titles of interest in Questia. To complement the library, Questia
offers a range of search, note-taking, and writing tools. These tools
help students locate the most relevant information on their topics
quickly, quote and cite correctly, and create properly formatted
footnotes and bibliographies automatically. Questia provides a
comprehensive research environment to meet students' academic needs.

Not only did CNET listen to users and restore the summaries to its
RSS feed, but today the above message appears amongst their posts
in my aggregator. This is the first time I've seen this type of post,
and it actually makes a lot of sense because as a user, I
appreciated the unobtrusive pointer (as opposed to an ad). After
all, RSS bigots like myself visit the full web site far less often.
Even in CNET's case, I tend to view single pages, so I don't
necessarily see these types of help mechanisms.
I think this is something libraries need to do more often,
especially those that provide online VR/chat services. A single post
on the blog - which then appears in the RSS feed - that points to the
"ask a librarian" service, the readers' advisory pages (especially if
the intent of the post is to highlight a new title by a popular
author) , authentication pages for remote access to databases, or even
just a reminder of the library's phone number would help patrons
find library services.
Remember that blogs are a great way to disseminate information
and market your services!

06/28/2004 10:08 AMI would love to get a grant to have 37signals design an online
library catalog. I've been reading their book Defensive Design for
the Web: How To Improve Error Messages, Help, Forms, and Other Crisis
Points because I'm redesigning our merged web
site/extranet/intranet, and while most of the suggestions in the book
are fairly intuitive, most of us don't take the time to add in all the
little niceties and user-supportive framework. It's a very quick read
and an easy ILL for library webmasters.
It looks like I'll be using ColdFusion on a Windows server for the
new MLS site, so if anyone has suggestions for CF-based aggregators,
RSS-generators, bulletin boards, blogging software, and kitchen-sink
functionality, I'd love to hear them.
