UNL BetaZone launched 1
The UNL Libraries is developing some new tools and we want you to have the earliest access possible to them. We have just launched this new BetaZone website that will showcase projects and experiments using web technologies to deliver new services and access what we can provide to you.
Our initial offerings include a search toolbar that lets you search our ENCORE system at anytime without needing to go our webpage, as well as putting links in amazon.com results, New York Times book reviews, and other similar websites to let you easily find out if we already have what you are looking for available to check out.
There are also two new things that were ready for public consumption before we even launched this site. One is a Twitter feed that will lets you know if there are any major problems with computers in the public areas, as well as any other relevant UNL-wide computing updates. Follow it at http://twitter.com/unllibcomputers. The second project set up access to a UNL Libraries reference desk via Skype or your favorite instant messaging service over at our Ask a Question page.
