Archivopedia: The online archives encyclopedia
Submitted by Archivist on Mon, 12/24/2007 - 13:49.
This website focuses on the management and research of primary source materials.
Based on Library 2.0 technologies, Archivopedia offers many services helpful to librarians and those wishing to learn more about library and archival research.
The wiki encyclopedia is open for anyone to edit and contains information relevant to archivists, librarians, public historians, and museum professionals. MLIS students will also find the study guide of terminology and biographical entries helpful. For individuals seeking a job, internship, or practicum experience, the wiki offers a free service to post a link to a resume or ePortfolio. For administrators and directors, there are links to funding sources like library grants and foundations that cater to library-related projects such as digitization, preservation, and collections description.

In addition to the wiki, the site offers a search engine specially customized to find primary source materials around the world by keyword. This feature takes advantage of open source / open access initiatives and is designed to promote repository collections containing original materials by enabling researchers the opportunity to find and link to collections and specific items held at various repositories that might interest them in a single search. Try a sample search like “George Washington” in the search engine:

M.L.S.: Melanie's Library Shop
Submitted by mcduncan on Tue, 05/15/2007 - 17:14.
This store was created by a librarian (me!) for librarians (us!), book lovers (us!), and the fringes of society where the most interesting people hang out.
Here you'll find gifts for the librarians and book lovers in your life (arranged by Dewey Decimal Classification), plus a variety of other odds and ends that appealed to me.
Examples of slogans include:
- "Ask, and a librarian will tell you where to go"
"Don't make me shush you"
"You are what you read"
"Being nice to the librarian means the difference between the right answer and the wrong one"
"Skip the movie, read the book"
"Librarians appreciate manners since we see so few of them"
"YALB: Yet Another Library Blogger"
"C.S.I.: Constantly Seeking Information"
"Librarian by day, hooker by night (Crochet, of course. What were you thinking?)"
"Living in Libraryland"
"I'm too sexy for my library!"
"SHHH! Bibliotherapy in progress"
"Warning! I have a library card and I know how to use it!"
and many, many more!
