zinc Roe is looking for feedback from the library and museum community as we start to map out the feature set of the next version of our book display and annotation tools. If you're interested please take a quick look at A Real Page Turner and share your thoughts.

These tools were originally developed when we began working with the Toronto Public Library to develop tools for displaying archival books from their various special collections branches. One such application of the tools we built is a site called Ontario Time Machine that presents archival material tied to the history curriculum.

I have a friend, a lovely Thai woman who is currently in the U.S. on a special visa working as an au pair. She has a degree in History from a University in Thailand. She is interested in entering a Museum Studies program here in the states next year. She's going to take the TOEFL exam next month. I'm wondering if anyone here is associated with any of the Museum Studies programs, especially some of the newer ones, that have been springing up. If you are and you are reading this would you kindly drop me a line? jfreeman at gmail dot com.

 

Thanks so much!
