Holy Worldcat!

The free version of Worldcat just added articles - holy smokes, that's a big change!

Try it out. I wonder if they're hoping to catch up to Google Scholar or what?! One big drawback, though: there's a "search my library" button but unfortunately for articles it only looks it up in the catalog, not SFX. So it certainly wouldn't be my first choice, though if I wasn't affiliated with a library that had a lot of databases it would be cool.

If you need to waste time at the desk...

Google Maps just announced easy-to-use mashup tools. I haven't actually tried it yet, but it looks like fun. Just click on the "my maps" tab. And then take a trip on Route 66 - a sample mashup they include there.

Check out the Cadillac graveyard.
