Welcome to Info Central

There hasn't been an overwhelming response to my survey question on how to best communicate among the many wonderful librarians who help at the Dunwoody Ref Desk.  Nonetheless, I'm game to give this a try.  It's really, really simple and can be used in multiple ways:
  1. Bookmark this URL <http://dunref.blogspot.com> and just check for new posts when you begin your shift. The posts will most likely be from one of the full-time staff about something work-related you need to know, but each of you will also have the opportunity to post. (See #2) Also, feel free to post personal news, but remember that the blog can be read by anyone who knows the URL.
  2. You do not have to post, but to do so you'll need to have a Google Account to log into blogger. Having an account will also allow you to comment on posts. Please let me know if you'd like to become a poster so I can add you as an author. If there is info you want shared with all, but don't want to post, please just email it to me.
  3. Use the Link Roll at the right to quickly access FAQ type information. You can add a link to the list if you have that Google account. The links are in alphabetical order, and I hope the titles make sense to all.
  4. Under the Link Roll there are labels--tags given to posts to help you relocate the info when you need it.  For instance, a notice of some schedule change might have the labels "schedule" or "calendar."
  5. There will be an archive in the right column near the labels where you will be able to locate posts by month.   
Clarkston's Reference Blog has been used for several years, so please have a look for ideas.
