Website of the Week

Library Link of the Day - http://www.tk421.net/librarylink/
Review by Erika Prange, SWC Library Faculty

It was in Library School when I came across this website: Library Link of the Day. The free service was created by John Hubbard, who is an electronic/reference librarian at University of Wisconsin. He is the founder of LISWiki and owner of the LISNews website, as well.

I like the convenience of receiving one email a day and that I won't lose the source if I delete the link. I can go to the archived list when I have more time. The archive contains the last 8 years worth of links, however, older links may be broken. The links cover all library related topics, and also anything about web searching, Internet, new inventions that help disseminate information, books, media and publishing. It covers basically anything that can be remotely interesting for librarians or for anybody who likes books and information.

The sources he culls the articles from are on this page: http://www.tk421.net/librarylink/sources.html. The service is available by RSS or email subscription and it is also on Facebook.
