Computers in Libraries 2010 Day 1 - New & Hot : The Best of the Resource Shelf

I missed the first few minutes of this one getting back a few minutes late after a nice lunch with Allen Bettig from Glenview Public Library.  I don't think I missed too much in those minutes, though, except the introduction of the speaker, Gary Price, maintainer of ResourceShelf.com and DocuTicker.

The presentation was a great post-lunch program that didn't require too much intense thought and comprehension, but just listed a lot of great resources worth checking out.  Several of them I think are well worth teaching library staff about.  Gary nicely provided a lovely page listing all of the resources so it's not necessary to reprint them all here.  I thought the NDDB and the NDDB mapper for looking up people and then finding out how they relate to other people and to organizations was particularly useful/fun looking.
