New Stuff in Libraryland

Hey Gators!
Check out some new improvements on the library website:
The booklists--logos have replaced the words to help the look of the page, and a new link has been added: "What Should I Read Next?" This new link helps you find a new book to read based on the kind of books you like. Not all books suggested will be in the MGMS Library, so use Marmot to check.
Web 2.0 Tools--A new tool has been added: Wordle. Wordle is an awesome tool that creates beautiful word clouds from text you supply. Link to Web 2.0 Tools, then select Wordle from that page for directions, an example, and a link to the Wordle site. Fun!

Do you ever feel like you don't get the attention you deserve? We have books here in the MGMS Library that feel the same way! Check out the table in the Gator Lounge for a collection of The Library Goddess's favorite books (that don't get checked out very often). Each book has a bookmark in it with a short description of the story. If you'd like even more info about these books, The Library Goddess is always happy to give book talks!

Happy reading, Gators!
