Thing 10 at Last!!

Greetings All - finally made it to Thing 10!

Well, I managed to accomplish the basic search. A slight change in my citation the Pollak Library Find It! produced an additional Full-Text Online source. How about that?!

Sorry, you lost me at the Advanced Search. The Basic search was about all my brain can handle at one time! But I get the idea.

Gotta go - it's fiscal closing & the renewals are looming. I'll refer you to Thing 9's url for my fun article. Thanks, Binky :-)

Thing 9 according to Binky




Heather had created a Verde wiki for Serials; so I was a little familiar with this Thing! It really is helpful for recording and finding the latest information.

For this exercise, I went to the Maine Coon Cat wiki & did a little editing - which I quickly undid! Our beloved Winky was a Maine Coon. Here's a wiki about the world's most enchanting cat!

A word of caution for Thing 8: Binky might use cloud computing in a mischievous way, like "I've fallen & I can't get up." Don't believe him for a minute!

Needed: Library cats & ghosts tags!

Unfortunately, I got lost at adding the tags which should have been the easiest part! However, I thoroughly enjoyed the Pollak Library delicious page. However, we're lacking "Library Cats" & "Library Ghosts" (or "Cats Library" and "Ghosts Library") tags. Thanks, Binky

Animals knees

This helpful information was found when the Mozilla browser transported me to WikiAnswers. Might be just the thing students might need to know! I'm sure the plug-ins can be very helpful too; but that's where I got lost...

What animal has no knees?
In: Pets, Wild Animals, Animal Life [Edit categories]

== Animals with no knees == This question has been asked by many great minds over the course of human history and various answers have been suggested. Some of these include: * a worm * a snake * a fish * a whale * a dolphin * a leech * a phyto-plankton * a jellyfish * a sea cucumber * a snail * a legless lizard * a shark
This is supposed to be a riddle- What animal has four legs but no knees?
Answer- An elephant. If you look at their legs, the midjoints are all elbows.

Student directional jing

I jinged this video someone sent me. Thought it would be a good directional for the students for finding their way out of the library on Friday evenings. Just go here:
