MOO


At the last conference we attended, no one was exchanging business cards. Instead, MOO cards were flying! Intrigued, we Googled upon our return and found that we could upload images from our Flickr account into MOO, add six lines of text, and, for a nominal sum, create our own cards. We started with some images from our library tour set. In a week we had our cards and were amazed that they had come from the UK. We uploaded a picture of them into the Flickr MOO Card pool and had a request to exchange cards. Turns out the cards were going to and coming from Rome.

We became hooked on MOO. Surely we had an academic reason to create more? We did. Already working on fine tuning for next fall how we work with the Juniors on their thesis papers, we have decided to hand out bags of writing supplies during our American history topics fair. Each bag will have a MOO clipped to it with info on how to access the library's resources specific to the paper. Now, how can we apply MOO to the freshmen orientation?????
