I had a number of Pop Culture related items filling my inbox, so I am going to consider this a Pop Culture edition of Link Love.I finally finished up "Pop Goes the Library" by Sophie Brookover and Elizabeth Burns. Really, really good stuff. I would be glad to loan this to any member if you are interested. The authors were nice enough to also put up a wiki that provides links to the resources listed in their book.

"MySpace Yes!: Depending on your customers, you might find that MySpace is a better fit than Facebook." Check out this upcoming webinar provided by OPAL in December.
This is just another example of a program that your library could do for your patrons. If you haven't talked to us about using NEFLIN's Web Conferencing service, powered by OPAL, now is the time.

How about doing some Window Shopping at Amazon.com?

Variety reports that Meryl Streep is purring over the Vicki Myron book "Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World". Streep intends to play the author, who works at the library and observed the impact that a kitten had on the townsfolk once it became the library mascot after wandering in through the after-hours book return slot on a cold night.

For those who love music videos...prepare to waste your day. MTV has launched a new site that has over 20,000 videos. You can find artists that you didn't even know made a video of a favorite song.
I had to watch a bunch including Christopher Walken and Jamiroquai.

...and finally, Noah Wyle has reprised his role as "The Librarian" for a new movie to air Sunday, December 7, on TNT.
While I give the first Librarian movie a solid 4 out of 5 stars, the second one left me less thrilled with about 2 out of 5. Here's hoping for a return to the fun and adventure of the original!
