digitalLabs has been through a few changes.  First, logos are ready for a lot of our services.  Second, outside of projects we’ve created, we’ve put in links to a lot of our other services.  A quick rundown on what we have and where it stands.

• The Facebook page is still a little lonely.  It has a few feeds running into it, and we’ve made at least 11 friends.  Still, that’s a little lonely!
• Our Twitter account has more people following it than we have Facebook friends, but it is still fairly new.  At this point, its been linked from our Web site for a weekend.
• LibGuides are quite the phenomenon for us, and they’ve been, as a whole, linked from the library’s page since Tuesday.  But even without that, we’re getting hundreds and hundreds of hits a month. We’re getting closer to replacing all of our old subject guides.
• ScholarSpace is taking submissions and has a few well-defined spaces receiving papers and presentations.
• The New Items RSS feed is integrated into multiple services we have, and has subscribers.  Hopefully we’ll be able to break down the feed into subjects.
• 10 Minute Paper Guide:  I think a lot of people will be pleased with this.  Soon, students will be able to search books, articles, and our libGuides while building their bibliography and chatting with a librarian: all in one page.  It is so close to done.
• This blog is still in the labs, and it is doing quite well. I hope its been fairly enjoyable, but moreso, I hope we get more than Books of the Day on here a tiny-bit more frequently.
• The Mobile Browser is not yet finished, but for catalog searching, works fairly well with minor annoyances.  Here’s hoping that the completion of 10MPG will give me more time to flesh this out.

So there’s a quick update.  Check some of these out, leave feedback, e-mail me, etc. Here’s to getting things done.
