Directory of Experimental Library Tools Sites (RSS4Lib)

Directory of Experimental Library Tools Sites

I've started compiling a list of "library labs" -- web sites where libraries of all kinds publicize their experimental, "beta," or trial services. The pages linked below offer a wealth of ideas and innovations.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) -- MIT Libaries' Betas
University of Michigan -- MLibrary Labs
University of Minnesota -- Digital Library Development Lab
New York Public Library -- NYPL Labs
University of Pennsylvania -- PennLabs
University of Virigina -- Library Lab
Vanderbilt University -- Test Pilot

The full list will be maintained as the Directory of Experimental Library Tools.

Please contribute your own library's site if it's not listed already.

Peta:

Great idea Ken, these will be a useful source of ideas. On the page where it will be maintained it refers to RSS feeds for legislation.

thanks

Ken Varnum:

Thanks, Peta! I updated the page. (I let my template copying get the best of me...)
