   We use this social media aggregator at all our public and private events

   We lately used it at a job fair and it was a huge draw. We also use it on an ongoing basis to show our social media presence quickly without having to pull up the individual platforms. All in all, I found it the quickest way to present what I wanted to a variety of audiences. It's a great social media engagement tool.

   👍 Pros:    The look is very slick, dynamic and clean. it is simple to set up. it can be adjusted regularly to vary the theme and add variety. it allows our employees and others who are not on social media to experience our organization's social media presence.|Their moderation options are more advanced compared to other tools i tried.|Our users loved the real time content updates. this is also something i haven't found for the same price in the other tools i tested.|Great customer service.

   👎 Cons:    We just loved it, no cons. we plan to use walls.io for future events as well.

   We can engage our students, instructors and staff from multiple locations.

   I like that we can curate content using both a hashtag and a social feed. Being able to combine content from more than one place keeps content fresh, and use of a hashtag makes posting easy for end-users.

   👍 Pros:    It has very advanced moderation features. this was one of the main reasons we chose it.|The content updates almost in real time and that's magical during events.|The support team goes out of their way trying to help.

   👎 Cons:    It would be great to be able to easily add extra walls to the entry plan.

• MLIS books available digitally?

  Check out https://openlibrary.org. You can search ´library science’, librarian’, etc, and something should come up. Just select the ‘ebooks’ option to search for items within the collection. And you can narrow the search by subject, etc. Source: 5 months ago

• NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month

  Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site. I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books.... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• YSK: You can access many old and out of print hiking books from the Internet Archive's Open Library

  The Internet Archive runs what they call the Open Library, which is a unique concept on the traditional library. You can sign-up with minimal details and digitally check out many scanned books from libraries all over the world. The only caveat is that almost all of the books are older editions - ones that would be impossible to find locally. It's great if you're looking for old routes, a look back in time, details...

• Searching for a pharmacy book

  I want to clarify that I'm a non-US citizen, so accessing physical copies from US libraries or buying it from Amazon might not be feasible for me. To give you some context, my personal research was guided by the wiki section of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH (https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/reading/). I've conducted research using various online resources, including the Ebook & Open Source/Access Libraries... Source: 8 months ago
