Generate your own word clouds with Wordle…

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. Here is the SIRLS blog in a cloud!  See:  http://wordle.net/

Thanks for your survey responses!

While I am still making meaning out of the 30 responses I have received, I wanted to share at least preliminary results. Will work on these and will get in touch with the Maricopa Library Council as well. Thanks very much! JDD

Welcome all friends of SIRLS in Phx and beyond…

My grandson teaches me about the value of going to infinity…and beyond! He is a big Buz Lightyear fan and is always telling me we need to go to infinity and beyond, so I figured our blog will go there. My goal is to anticipate and meet your needs by alerting you to news, events, emerging trends and concepts and all “stuff” relating to librarians, libraries, library education and SIRLS.

So, please use the comments capability liberally and let me know your questions, concerns and what you are learning about all of the above. I will promise to do the same!
