An academic librarian with a keen visual way to navigate information overload and clutter has given us a great educational tool.

Hats off to Keith, a librarian at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti!

Scrapblog - Worthwhile Web 2.0 Resource

Just found out from a friend about an online scrapbook that allows one to organize photos and videos in a creative fashion. Move over "Creative Memories" and home-based scrapbook clubs - Web 2.0 is taking over your domain. Scrapblog has been around since Fall 2006, but is now catching some media attention with recent spots on ABC and NBC. (Oct 13, 2008 Scrapblog's Blog)

As stated on the website "Create stunning multimedia scrapbooks. Share them online with family and friends and print them." By the way, due to copyright issues, the embedded music choices are limited, however, my friend got around this by linking to sound files which were located on other websites.

Conveniently enough, the currently featured scrapblog "Italia 2007" is of a person's visit to the three Italian cities which I visited last fall - Rome, Florence, and Venice. I'm thinking my first scrapblog will not replicate this but be an educational one . . . still plotting.

Thanks, Phil for sharing this fun resource with me. Keep sharing your ideas and creativity . . .
