Bill C-61
An interesting take on Bill C-61, a new Canadian Bill about Copyright that affects more than just illegal music downloading.

Another interlibrary loan source
Just to share another interlibrary loan source: Racer.
http://racer.scholarsportal.info/zportal/zengine?VDXaction=LoginPage
In Racer, you may search Ontario University Library Catalogues. Since our libraries are not registered users, we can only use the "guest access".
Once we find what we want, we may put a request by following the link below.
http://illforms.scholarsportal.info/vdx_illreq_regU.htm
For the RACER Location Code, we can use our AMICUS codes. For Red Deer Regional Library, the code is ARDRH.
Since the registered libraries of AMICUS have not been able to talk to AMICUS for a long time, the information in AMICUS is quite out-of-date and unreliable. Here is an example:
I recently was trying to locate a book with the title "The Bobath concept in adult neurology". The author is Gjelsvik, and the book was published in 2008. In Alberta, only University of Alberta has it. However, shortly after I got the book for the user from U of A, U of A recalled the book because their primary user was requesting it. So I searched for the book again. I tried TAL and AMICUS with no success. Then I tried Racer and found that three libraries own this book (all the three libraries are in AMICUS as well). I ILLed from one of them.
When I use AMICUS, I always confirm by going to the library's current catalogue so that I do not request an item that is not owned by the lending library.

Overview of NetSpeed 2008
A conference is a good opportunity to learn about what other libraries are doing. NetSpeed is a technology-focused conference, providing an opportunity to learn about what other libraries are doing in the technology aspect.
All the sessions in the conference sounded interesting. Unfortunately I could not attend them all. I chose four I liked the best.
The first one was about Calgary Public Library’s blogs. They started with Google Blogger last year, and then switched to Community Server this July. So far they have set up several blogs, talking about things like books, food, gardening, etc. The weblogs are maintained by ongoing collaboration between IT and Customer Services Staff throughout the system.
The second session was about U of A Library’s experience with the Screen Recorder software, Camtasia. U of A now has the so-called one-desk service. Before the one-desk service, they had a reference desk and a circulation desk in each library, which sometimes caused confusion among students because they did not know which desk they should go to. Now, there is only one desk doing both reference and circulation. Both former reference staff and circulation staff are working at this one desk, which means former reference staff have to do circulation, and former circulation staff have to do reference. Former reference staff found that circulation was a hard job because there were so many policies and procedures to learn about. So they developed this online screen casting session to train staff on how to do circulation. Staff can use this session at anytime and can go back to it as many times as they want. It was very convenient. There were narration and little quizzes, and you can also incorporate PowerPoint into it. You may download Camtasia from the Internet and use it for free for 30 days.
The third session is about podcasting. NAIT created an online tour using the podcast software called iMovie. But iMovie is only available on Mac, not on PC. It was easy to use. The final product has background music, narration, and pictures.
The last session is about a serial analysis toolkit used in University of Saskatchewan Library. It is a neat tool, but more suitable to big library systems, not really beneficial to small libraries like us. However, it is still nice to know that there is such a tool existing.

The value and impact of information provided through library services for patient care: a systematic review
The conclusion of the article:
Research studies suggest that professionally led library services have an impact on health outcomes for patients and may lead to time savings for health-care professionals. The available studies vary greatly in quality but the better quality studies also suggest positive impacts.
