Reference Riches: New to Reference Desk

Quite some time ago, the best holiday and festival calendar site listed on the CFLC Reference Desk page folded and a comparable replacement was not immediately forthcoming.

It's finally turned up! Just added to the Reference Desk page under Time, Dates, Chronologies, & Calendars is this far-ranging resource: Earth Calendar. Earth Calendar is searchable by "today" and by date, country, religion, and more.

So, have a Happy Confucius' Birthday, and enjoy this site!

Reference Riches: CFLC Referencia Electrónica

CFLC now has a Spanish-language Reference Desk! To enable those library staff members who do not speak Spanish to assist patrons who only speak Spanish, the commands and explanations of the resources are in both English and Spanish. The resources themselves, unless the equivalent English title is also linked, are only in Spanish.

To learn more about this new tool and to have some guided hands-on exploration of it, come to the upcoming workshop, Internet Resources for Spanish-Speaking Patrons, at Volusia on Thursday, September 29, from 9 a.m. to noon.

CFLC Chronicles: CFLC "Globe" Trotting #2

The CFLC Globe has Trotted again. Cortesy of the husband of one of the CFLC trainers, this is from the second of the two states not part of CONUS, the Continental United States. Now, how about some submissions from "the lower 48"?















These next two photos were taken this month at the Anchorage, Alaska train depot.


























Though it's a bit difficult to tell what's in the background, this last picture actually shows snow-capped Alaska mountains outside of Anchorage.
