PurpleSearch is a new service from the University of Groningen Library, using an experimental concept of searching multiple external databases simultaneously.

The University Library is constantly monitoring the quality of its services and working on how to improve them. Nevertheless, it is possible that the information you find via PurpleSearch may not be complete or does not match your search query. It is possible for errors to occur during data processing.
The University Library cannot guarantee that the information found is suitable for the aim you have in mind.
The University Library does not accept liability for any direct or indirect damage whatsoever related to the use of PurpleSearch or that is the result of using information obtained through PurpleSearch.
Because PurpleSearch is a new and experimental service, any questions, comments or suggestions you may have will be warmly welcomed.

A nice blog for Dutch Librarians.

Los/as invito a unirse y enviar sus experiencias y comentarios para ir descubriendo entre todos qué sucede con la ALFIN en Uruguay y en el mundo.

We would like to invite everyone to Freeze-n-Read 4 Libraries anywhere you are on 4.17.10@4pm or in the classroom with students anytime during National Library Week. (April 12-16) What began as a simple NLW activity for our school has grown into a library advocacy event we hope everyone who loves libraries will embrace. Our website, www.freeze-n-read.weebly.com explains the simple process (Promote, Freeze, Get Involved) and brings together in one place links to "cool" and "chilling" facts about libraries along with effective ways to bring about change. We include a blog to gather information about libraries in crisis, photo gallery for "Freezers" and a poll to document participation. My students and I are excited about the potential this has, but we need your help. Please ask your colleagues, friends and family to Vote 4 Libraries on the website and Freeze-n-Read in some way during National Library Week!

Infotopia is an academic search engine accessing only trusted websites previously selected by librarians, teachers and library and educational consortia. Infotopia is recommended for students, teachers, and, especially, homeschoolers. Infotopia was created by, and is maintained by, Dr. Michael Bell, former chair, Texas Association of School Librarians.

Este blog trata temas relacionados con la Educación, la Bibliotecología, entre otros temas, y su objetivo principal es compartir información para que entre todos podamos crecer profesionalmente, además de compartir experiencias laborales en el mundo de los libros y la cultura.

The site looks organized and clean and includes a lot of content. The blogs for kids, teens and adults offers updated information with rss feed. The site makes the library's databases and special collections nicely visible.
