Virtual Travel
When it's not a good time for physical travel, you can always go virtually. Check out The Armchair Travel Company. You can take a 360 degree tour the Taj Mahal, Stonehenge or any number of other locations here. You might like to tour around the inside of a Xerox high-volume copier. I like the panoramic tour of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, myself.

Feed Link of the Day - Automobile Recalls

My Feed Link of the Day comes courtesy of Robert Ambrogi's blawg. He posted today about AutoRecalls. You can get the feed for any recalls that have been issued for your car. Click on the make, then the model, then year of your vehicle and then click on the orange RSS button! How cool is that? The information is obtained from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database. Here's the link to all the feeds.

Feed Link of the Day - CNET

CNET has a multidude of RSS feeds for downloads. You can get feeds for Hot Titles from Download.com, music downloads, popular Windows downloads, new Windows releases, new Mac releases and more. You can get them all right here.

Travel Links - Status Checks

FlightArrivals.com
You can Check the status of any flight arrival or departure in and out of the US and Canada here. You can also check to see the weather conditions at an airport and if there are any delays and/or schedule changes.

TSA's Security Checkpoint Wait Times
Believe it or not, the US Transportation Security Administration actually allows you to look up the security checkpoint wait times at airports before you head out the door. You can check them here. At the bottom of the page, it says you can get them in xml. However, the xml page is a zip file. I don't recommend opening it.

Travel Advisories
Check Travel Warnings issued by the US Department of State here and Public Announcements here (note the "Worldwide Caution Public Announcement" that expires 9/07/2005). There are also links to information on obtaining visas and passports, links to Consular Information Sheets and a lot more (including a list of "foreign" attorneys here! Scroll up and down from the attorneys list to find great international legal links).

Travel Sites - Traveling in Europe

My two favorite sites for traveling in Europe are AutoEurope and ViaMichelin.

AutoEurope
A few years ago, a US travel agent told me about AutoEurope. He said it was the service his agency used to book auto rentals abroad. The first time I used it to book a car in Ireland, the woman behind the counter at Shannon Airport told me I was practically stealing the car for the price I was paying. She seemed a little displeased about that, but she certainly brightened my day with her comment. You can find AutoEurope here. If you're not in the US, just click on the flag at the top of the page to choose the country where you are located.

AutoEurope is also my Feed Link of the Day. Here's the feed for US auto travel deals: http://www.autoeurope.com/RSS/US/autoeurope-travel-deals.rss

ViaMichelin
Now that you have worked out a great deal on a rental car (and perhaps also a cell phone) from AutoEurope, save a little extra cash by not renting the GPS. Instead, go to ViaMichelin and map out your journey in advance. From the main page (here), you can get driving directions and maps. You can also click on tabs for live traffic reports and weather. You can register for free (it takes about 10 seconds) to allow yourself access to the Michelin online guides to hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions and more. They are all neatly arranged in an interactive map. I have used this site numerous times, but even now, I am amazed at how helpful it really is.

Google Weblog says you can now search Google Print. Check out the link here!

Travel Links - Deal Alerts

Here is a list of some of my favorite travel deal alerts:

TravelZoo
Top on my list is TravelZoo. TravelZoo sends out their weekly Top 20 Internet travel deals every Wednesday (as of the time of this post) so you can check out the latest tomorrow. Here is a link to the Top 20 on their Web site (you can sign up for the alerts at the same page). The links are now restricted to subscribers, but all you have to do is enter your e-mail address for access. What's great about TravelZoo is that the alerts provide links to a lot of information about the deal. It includes terms and conditions and a link where you can actually get the deal. Many other alerts will tell you about a special deal, but you may never actually be able to find it. You can also sign up for TravelZoo's NewsFlash here to receive e-mails regarding deals in your area (or from your airports). Check out last minute specials here.

SmarterTravel.Com
Back in February I made SmarterTravel.com my Feed Link of the Day. It's great to be able to get travel deal updates via RSS instead of e-mail. For a list of the RSS travel deals and information they have available, click here.

SmarterTravel is part of SmarterLiving. You can set up e-mail alerts specific to any particular airport by going here.

TripMania.com
Another SmarterLiving Web site is TripMania.com. I like their Top 10 Deals e-mail. My primary reason for liking it is that it has a scratch and match game. There are three prizes given out each week and few are ever claimed. This marketing tactic actually works on me and makes me play each week. Click here to sign up.

TripAdvisor.com
This is another good e-mail alert that can be customized to your needs. You can add specific destinations to your subscription. The e-mail alert will also provide you with information for weekend trips close to home. So, if you're in Washington, DC you will get an e-mail with links for planning a trip to Williamsburg, Atlantic City, Manhattan or a multitude of other locations within driving distance. A different location is featured each time. You can sign up here.

Of course, there are many other deal alerts on the Web. Most of the the travel deal search engines I listed yesterday have alerts too. My favorites may not be your favorites, so shop around. If you find something particularly great, let me know and I will post it.

Dohop Travel Search Engine

Gary Price posts that Dohop's travel search engine has left Beta. Read more about it at SearchEngineWatch here.

Feed Link of the Day - Fodor's Travel Wire

If you travel a lot, you are familiar with Fodor's books. Did you know you can get Fodor's Travel Wire in your aggregator? Well you can. Here's the feed: http://www.fodors.com/wire/index.rdf

Travel Links - Airfare Search Engines

Since I'm just returning from vacation, I thought it would be fitting to have a travel theme this week. Travel is my real passion anyway. Today I thought I would list links to some of my favorite airfare search engines.

If you travel with children or seniors (or are a senior), the best search engines for maximizing discounts are those that ask for the ages of the travelers. Because my travel dates are usually somewhat flexible, I especially like those search engines that allow me to search several dates at once. I always search multiple airfare search engines because the fares differ greatly.


SideStep - I used this search engine to book my last flight and was able to shave $200 off the best fares I found on other airfare search engines. Since it compares results from other search engines (though sometimes you can't duplicate the results in those other search engines), it's a great place to start. If you're a serious airfare bargain hunter like me, but haven't played around with SideStep, you really need to do so.

TravelZoo's NetFares
http://www.travelzoo.com/Airfares.asp?from=*OTHER

(TravelZoo has a new SuperSearch here, but so far I haven't found it to be as useful as others. Since almost everything else TravelZoo does is outstanding, it is probably worth keeping an eye on it.)

Feed Link of the Day - Practical Nomad

I'm back! In honor of my travels, the Feed Link of the Day will be Edward Hasbrouck's blog, The Practical Nomad. You can check it out here. Here's the feed: http://hasbrouck.org/blog/index.rdf

Gone Fishing

AbsTracked is going offline for one week while Ab vacations. So, let's get together again the week of April 24th. In the meantime, here’s a book that looks like a good read.

Thursday, April 14, 2005

National Library Week Links

Beautiful Bindings
Librarians’ Index to the Internet mentioned the Web site, Publishers' Bindings Online, 1815-1930: The Art of Books in their release today. What a fascinating site. The University of Alabama, University Libraries and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries continue to enter digital images of decorative bindings and hope to get up to as many as 5,000. You can search or browse the collection. It’s really quite beautiful. You can check it out here.

Fictional Librarians
The Marginal Librarian is an e-zine put together by the McGill Library and Information Studies Students' Association (MLISSA). One of the items on their site is “from the bookshelves of Laura Cobrinik” and is titled, “Librarians As Characters In Fiction: Biographies, Poetry and The History of Libraries, Including Textbooks For Library Studies.” That’s a lot of variety for one list! It’s pretty fun to browse. You can check it out here. The same site includes a list of “Librarians in Movies” which is also compiled by Cobrinik and others. You can link to the movie list here. You can learn more about McGill University’s Graduate School of Library Information Studies in Montréal by clicking here.

Librarian Sequel
As long as I’m writing about fictional librarians; Gary Price (no, he's not fictional), at ResourceShelf, posted today that TNT has announced that there is a sequel in the works for the TV show, The Librarian. Here's the link to the news item.

Bodleian Library
Library Link of the Day’s link today was to the article, "The Infinite Library." The article is by Wade Roush at TechnologyReview.com. It's about the University of Oxford’s Bodleian Library and digitization. You can read about it here.

Feed Link of the Day - Ask Dave Taylor

Ask Dave Taylor is the Feed Link of the Day. The site says “Industry guru Dave Taylor answers questions about a wide variety of technical topics, including HTML, online advertising, Cascading Style Sheets, Web design, Unix, Linux, search engine optimization, Mac OS X, shell script programming and Microsoft Windows.” The truth is Dave answers even more than what’s on that list. So, if you’ve got a tech question, Dave’s your guy. You can read Dave’s bio here. Here’s the “Ask Dave” feed.

National Library Week Links

Librarian Job Hunting Made Easier
Sabrina at BeSpacific sure has been making my life easier by posting wonderful librarian links this week. Check out this link to an article about great places on the Web to find library-related jobs. It includes LISJobs.com which, as I mentioned in an earlier post, has feed. Here’s that feed. It also mentions looking for jobs at video game companies. About those jobs it says, “Most listings don't disclose salaries, but they generally range from $50,000 to $200,000 annually…” Do you like to play video games? Maybe you should!

Celebrity Book List
Each year, Gardiner Public Library in Gardiner, Maine posts their Who Reads What: Celebrity Reading List on their Web site. They haven’t posted 2005 as of the time of this post, but you can click here for a sneak peek. Click here to view the lists from 1988-2004.

BookTV.com
US National Library Week seems to be a good time to bring up Book TV. Book TV runs from 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays to 8:00 a.m. on Monday (EST). It features nonfiction books. Their Web site provides additional information including bestseller lists, the chance to chat with authors and background information on authors and publishers. You can also check out their schedule here and watch their programs online here. One of the books being featured this weekend is former US Representative, Lee Hamilton’s How Congress Works and Why You Should Care.

Feed Link of the Day - US Census Bureau

The US Census Bureau has a feed for what's new on their site. Let's hope this is a trend and eventually all sites set up their "What's New" pages with feed. Ah, in a perfect world.... Here's the feed.

National Library Week Links

Pluck Feed Finds Out About Librarians
Check out Pluck RSS Feed of the Day. The author has discovered National Library Week as well as the fact that librarians do more than shelve books! Let's hope more people begin to understand that libraries are "much more tech-savvy than I'd originally thought." While you're checking it out, also take a look at yesterday's post which is "DocuTicker: Librarians as Masters of the (information) Universe." You've got to love that title! Here's the feed for Pluck RSS Feed of the Day: http://pluck.typepad.com/feed_of_the_day/index.rdf

Library Comics
Yet Another Comics Blog (yes, that really is the name of the blog) is posting items relating to libraries and comics all week. You can check it out here.

LC’s Center for the Book
LC's The Center for the Book has a listing of book fairs and “other literary events” here. You can search by state or go through the list in alphabetical order. You can find a list by date (starting with April 2005) here. After the month is over, they quickly update the list with information for next year's events. It’s so quick that it’s a little confusing if you link to the top of the page. It seems like it would make more sense to have the list in chronological order with 2006 at the bottom of the page. Scroll all the way down to the bottom for links to other great resources.

Librarian Action Figure

I’ve always wanted one and now I have one; my very own Nancy Pearl Librarian Action Figure. What a great NLW gift. If you would like to get one too, here’s where you can buy one. She has a button on the back that thrusts her arm up (that’s the amazing shushing action). If you bend her hand a bit (not the shushing one), she can hold her copy of Book Lust (which she authored). She also has a stack of books that can rest by her feet. That gives a very authentic re-shelving look to her. In case you don’t know who Nancy Pearl is, you can read about her (and her retirement last year) here.

Investigating Mamma?

If you use the current Groowe toolbar in Internet Explorer, you see "Mamma" in bold blue just about every time you open your browser. You may be interested in this post at SearchEngineWatch about Mamma.com.

Feed Link of the Day - Encycopaedia Britannica

My Feed Link of the Day doesn't usually correspond with my theme, but since the one I posted yesterday did, I thought I’d try it again. The Encyclopaedia Britannica Online has free feed. They have a daily biography and “This Day in History” with links to the full-text articles (which you can access with a subscription or a 30 day trial). Here’s the feed.

Monday, April 11, 2005

NLW Links

ALA - NLW
Here is the link to the American Library Association’s main National Library Week page. You can also link to ALA’s Many Voices, One Nation Booklist here.

About.com - NLW
About.com has a National Library Week feature here at Esther Lombardi's classical literature blog site. She has even posted In a Library by Emily Dickenson. That seems especially appropriate since it is also US National Poetry Month. You'll find the link to the poem here. Here is the feed.

BeSpacific on Libraries

BeSpacific had two recent library-related posts worth mentioning. The first links out to this New York Lawyer article, "Large-Firm Life: An Ode to Librarians" (update: registration now required to view it). If you’re a law librarian, you really need to read it. It’s a thank you from attorneys. It just might make your day.

The second post links to an article on blog use and application in science and technology libraries. Here’s the link to the post.

Feed Link of the Day - Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg lists their most recently posted (or updated) free ebooks here. Of course, you can also get the list via RSS. With 15,000 already in the collection, you know it will keep you busy. Here’s the feed: http://www.gutenberg.org/feeds/today.rss

National Library Week - Freebies

Since today begins US National Library Week (NLW), I decided to make that my theme. It's great to see that Google likes that theme too! Click here to view their NLW Google image. Here’s a link to the results you get when you click on the Google image.

e-Cards
Today, I thought I’d list the many NLW freebies that are being offered. You can get free e-cards from American Greetings here. The only problem is that you might have a hard time getting someone to open them after reading this TVC Alert post.

Library Science Titles
This Business Wire article, states that in honor of National Library Week, ebrary (an information services and technology provider) is offering American Library Association (ALA) members free access to more than 55 library science titles for a year. The collection has been integrated into the American Libraries digital archive. You can access the the American Libraries digital archive via the Business Wire article.

Xrefer
As in the past, Xrefer is offering a free one-week trial in honor of National Library Week. Click here to learn more about Xrefer and to sign up. Why stop at a week, though? You can sign up for a 30-day institutional trial of Xrefer here.

Gale
What would National Library Week be without a free trial from Gale? They’re offering free access to "30 diverse databases" this year. You can check it out and sign up here. They also have a free Library Toolkit available here.

Lexis Toolkit
Writing of free library toolkits, LexisNexis always offers a fun one. You can check out their games, bookmarks and more at InfoPro here. They also have a link to AALL’s photo contest.

Spam Software
The Shifted Librarian points out that free spam software is available for a year for US public libraries. Check out the post about that here.

Feed Link of the Day - Blogger Template Tricks

Since so many bloggers have been experiencing problems with Blogger, I thought I’d point out a blog that provides Blogger tips and tricks. Check out Blogger Template Tricks here. The feed is here.

Copyright Links - Legal Resources

Kasunic.com is as close as you may get to one-stop shopping for copyright law and litigation resources. The author, Rob Kasunic, just happens to be an attorney at the US Copyright Office. He's also an adjunct law professor at the American University's Washington College of Law and the University of Baltimore School of Law. He's quick to point out in his disclaimer that his opinions are his own and that he offers no legal advice, but boy does he offer a lot of other great stuff!

Franklin Pierce Law Center Professor, Thomas G. Field, has a Copyright on the Internet site that is worth checking out. He explains the basics and has links to pages on similar subjects, articles he has written and links to the US Copyright Office.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a lot of case documents, papers, letters and you name it on "Intellectual Property Online" here. At the top of the list is "JibJab Media, Inc. v. Ludlow Music, Inc." and yes, you can link out to watch and listen to "This Land" and all of the other JibJab flicks. If you're not familiar with JibJab, you really need to take a break and go check it out. Just be prepared to laugh out loud.

Cornell’s Legal Information Institute is a wonderful site that is best known for its Supreme Court collection. They also have topical overviews. Click here to check out their copyright overview complete with US Code sections, decisions and lots of links. Another site to visit for legal topics is FindLaw. You’ll find their copyright resource page here. Another obvious place to go for copyright law links is the US Copyright Office. You can access their Title 17 page here. One quick note: I am not a big fan of accessing state or federal codes on the Internet (anywhere) because they are not usually current. So, these are good references, but always be sure to check for any amendments on THOMAS (Here’s a chance to use that button on the blog!) or use LexisNexis, Westlaw or…here’s a novel concept…the books!

Thomson & Thomson is a new site to me (though clearly part of the Thomson/West family), but it certainly looks promising. Click on “IP Resources” for great links to cases, articles, forms, guidelines, courts, law schools, agencies, associations, Canadian resources and more!

Do you want to know what people who visit the US Copyright Office's Web site are searching the most? Click here to find out!

Feed Link of the Day - WSJ

More and more news sources are adding feeds these days. In fact, there are so many that I really have to limit the number to which I subscribe. I can’t subscribe to anything that updates too often nor gets into fluff pieces or scandals. So, I limit myself to four news feeds. The Wall Street Journal has very nice feeds that fit into my narrow view of what’s acceptable in a news feed. Here is a link to their feed page. They’re kind enough to explain to newbies what RSS feeds are before you scroll down to the orange buttons. You can get feeds for US, Europe and Asian news, US business, technology, Market News, the Review & Outlook section or Personal Technology with Walt Mossberg. Here’s the US Business feed. (One note: you do need an online subscription to read most of the full-text articles.)

Wednesday, April 06, 2005

Copyright Links - Registering

If you are interested in getting an official US copyright for literary, visual, performance, audio, serials or even semiconductor chip works, you need to go to the US Copyright Office to get the application information. You should be able to get everything you need from their Web site. This link will take you to the registration page. Click on the link that lists the work you have created and follow the step-by-step instructions. You will need to fill out and submit a form. The pdf version of forms are available (by category) here.

If you're an author, you might want to take a look at the Authors Guild's Web site. You can check out electronic rights on that site.

Feed Link of the Day - Between Lawyers

Just in case you haven't already heard about it, Between Lawyers is a new collaborative blawg. However, the bloggers themselves aren't new to the blogosphere at all. You can read more from some of your favorites: Denise Howell, Dennis Kennedy, Tom Mighell, Marty Schwimmer and Ernest Svenson. They are all posting at Between Lawyers (as well as on their own blags). Yesterday and today they have been posting quite a bit on Creative Commons licenses, so it seems particularly timely to make this the Feed Link of the Day. Here's the feed.

Background Checks - Part 2

Back in February, I posted about the first part of Genie Tyburski's "How To Conduct a Background Check" here. Now you can read the second part on the Virtual Chase here.

Tuesday, April 05, 2005

Copyright Links - Library Resources

Copyright.com is the site for the Copyright Clearance Center. They manage the rights of more than 1.75 million works. They act as an "intermediary between copyright holders and content users, facilitating the exchange of reuse rights and royalties." Copyright Clearance Center offers an annual license with unlimited internal use of their covered titles or a pay-per-use service. You can search to see if a particular title is covered from the "Content Users" section of the home page.

Interestingly enough, Gary Price had a post today on ResourceShelf about the new partnership between Copyright Clearance Center and Sirsi. You can read today's press release here.

ALA's Office for Information Technology Policy runs the Copyright Advisory Network. Its purpose is to provide a forum for librarians to discuss copyright issues with experts. If you have an e-mail address, you can register to communicate in the forums. You can also link from their site to Peter B. Hirtle's "Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States" chart and a fair use checklist (links can be found on the site under "outside links").

The American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) has a nice resource site here. You can find basic information with a lot of supporting links on the fair use and first sale doctrines. The site is divided up into five sections: finding tips, electronic resources (which includes blogs), print resources, organizations and training & seminars.

Stanford University Libraries' Copyright & Fair Use site has a really extensive Copyright and Fair Use Overview page here. It's certainly worth checking out. While I was looking at it, I noticed the "For Librarians" tab. I clicked on it and found a linking list of Fair Use and Copyright Guidelines and Policies (here). At first glance it looks great. They divide it into two parts: 1) Colleges & Universities and 2) Associations & Organizations. However, I quickly realized that this page has not been updated in quite some time. It has a lot of dead links. Until someone fixes this, your best bet is to to stick with the Copyright and Fair Use Overview page.

Feed Link of the Day - Blogsnow

Do you want to know what's really hot on the blogosphere right now? Check out Blogsnow (Every time I read that, I want to say "Blog Snow" instead of "Blogs Now" - maybe BlogBlizzard would have been a good compromise...). Here's the feed (or would it be the flakes?).

Free Docket Monitoring

Here is a link to a very useful little article Paul Bush of Legal Dockets Online Blog posted today. It's titled, "Free Court Case Docket Monitoring." If you're an attorney or a law librarian, you'll want to take a look at it.

Monday, April 04, 2005

Copyright Links - Searching

US Copyright Office Searching

You can search the database containing records of registrations and ownership documents since 1978 at the US Copyright Office site. They offer the traditional LOCIS searching method using Telnet here (and you thought you'd never have to use Telnet again!) or you can use their "alternative, experimental search method for short, simple searches and occasional users" (like me) using the links below. If you need to use LOCIS, here is where you can find the search guide. Here are the search pages for:

Renewal Records Searching

Michael Lesk is a professor of Library and Information Science at the School of Communication, Information, and Library Studies (SCILS) at Rutgers University. He has set up a search form here that searches the US copyright renewal records. He explains on his site that "Any book published during the years 1923-1963 which is found in this file is still under copyright, as are all books published after 1964 (although until 1989 they still had to have proper notice and registration). Books published before 1923, or before Jan. 1, 1964 and not renewed, are out of copyright. This file does not contain listings for music, movies, or periodicals."

Feed Link of the Day - ipodder

Maybe this FLOTD should be called "Link of the Day to Feed." It's for all you podcast lovers. You can get a listing of podcasting categories from ipodder.org here. Click on the category in which you are interested and you'll get the feed! Find out what's new today here.

Sunday, April 03, 2005

Feed Link of the Day - Lessig Blog

Of course, if I’m writing about Creative Commons, the Feed Link of the Day would have to be Lessig Blog. Stanford Law School Professor, Lawrence Lessig chairs the Creative Commons project. He also has one of the most popular blawgs out there today. Here’s the feed.

Copyright Links - Creative Commons

This week’s theme will be about copyright related links. Just writing about copyrights makes me nervous, so let’s remember, I am not an expert, I just provide useful links. Today’s feature is about Creative Commons. Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that supports the enforcement value of copyrights, but believes in more flexible rights. They use the phrase “some rights reserved” instead of the standard “all rights reserved.” To get a little better idea about Creative Commons, check out their license here. Their Web site falls under this same license. To find out even more about them, click here. BTW, they have a blog. Here's the link. Here’s the feed: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/rss.

You may have heard the big news last month that Yahoo now has a Creative Commons search feature. It’s currently in Beta. Right now you can choose to search material on the Web, with a Creative Commons license, that has either 1) content you can use for commercial purposes or 2) content you can modify, adapt, or build upon. Here’s the link to get to Yahoo’s Creative Commons Search.

Groowe Toolbar for Firefox

Miloš Mileusnić, the author of the Groowe toolbar sent an e-mail message to me (and gave me permission to mention it) after seeing my last post about Groowe (here). He mentioned that he has created a toolbar for Firefox that you can download here. He said he created it after several Groowe users asked for it. He says users missed the more visually pleasing Groowe, the drop-down search history, highlighting and the “find on page” button. I hope to check it out and compare the two this week.

Friday, April 01, 2005

Bioethics - More News, Links & Jobs

I started the week with bioethics.net which has news, links and jobs and so I'll end on the same note with bioethics.com. Bioethics.com is a collaborative site maintained by international bioethics experts. You can get current news here. You can access their extensive list of links here. You can access job postings here.

April Fools! ...For Librarians

Check today's edition of Library Journal here.

Pluck Out a New Aggregator

Scott Vine over at Information Overlord created a very nice list of feed aggregators (with descriptions and links, of course) over at Pluck. Check it out via his post here.
