Hi All,
We're back from a weekend...and I just thought of a good topic for this blog...and the topic is...'Picking the Brain of Your Local Reference Librarian'. Your Reference Librarians are a well read bunch with diverse interests in a wide variety of subjects. All of this is at your disposal - and it is free. But wait...if you need some answers at night when the library is closed what can you do?
Well...you could search Wikipedia or Google or Yahoo or even use Ask.com. However you might be searching for quite a bit of time and still not get your answer....which is why you can call your reference librarian any time the library is open! Click here for a schedule of when the Farmingdale library is open.
So, if you are on the computer at night and don't want to use Wikipedia, Google, et al...what can you do? There is a special website called Delicious.com which saves users 'bookmarks' or 'favorites' of folks who sign up with Delicious. Click here for the link to Delicious.com for the Farmingdale library reference librarians favorite bookmarks.
Your reference librarians have posted links on Delicious as on topics as varied as business, home repair, cooking, health, travel, careers, job search, sports fitness, genealogy, readers advisory, and language...all of this is free and very, very easy to use.
If you have any questions about Delicious or how to use it, just visit the reference desk at the library and ask us your question!
Best regards,
Stu
