Great Free Online Resources for Techies

Published: April 23, 2010

Library staff – including some from the Columbia Pike Branch Library – had the opportunity to attend the Computers in Libraries 2010 conference, held in Crystal City. The focus for this year’s conference was on leading-edge technology that builds information fluency, transforms library operations, enables information products and services, and redefines roles within all types and sizes of library and information services.

The conference is a wonderful opportunity to learn how other libraries’ are using technology. We want to share some of the great free resources on the web that we’re looking forward to exploring:

  • Mighty Seek (WordPress Blog for Publishing) – Plugin for Podcasters using WordPress.” Ex: Adventures In Library Instruction
  • Wiggio – Makes it easy to work in groups
  • card.ly – Lets you create your online card for use on social networks.
  • FotoFlexer – “The World’s most advanced online image editor.”
  • Weebly – Web creation made easy
  • ADrive – Revolutionizing online storage and backup
  • Screencast-o-matic – Make a screen capturevideo with audio and upload it for free hosting
  • drop.io – 100 MG of free storage with real-time sharing, collaboration, and presentation.
  • AlternativeTo – Indicate what application you want to replace and receive great alternatives, based on user recommendations.
