Do You Have The Tools You Need To Learn?

While exploring the "toolbox" of information, I found several "tools" very interesting...........it definitely left me wanting to explore more. In particular, I liked Creative Commons, a site that lets you license/copyright your creative work for free............and Stumbled Upon, a site that lets you learn more about your particular interests whether it be music, books, health, whatever. World Cat is a site that I can see libraries using alot. It would certainly add a new dimension to InterLibrary Loans. To be able to see a online library catalog for the world would open up the possibilities of obtaining information for library users, thus enhancing the library experience for the community as a whole. World Cat would open up a world of possibilities for the future of the library.
Another useful tool to library users would be the link to the library catalog right in the browser. It would be very timesaving to be able to look up items in the catalog directly from the browser. And to have the library toolbar in the browser would be timesaver as well as it allows one to check his/her library account quickly, and keep track of events in a more efficient manner. Tools such as these seem very practical for library users, making their library experience an even more positive one.
