Widgets and Gadgets
My lovely pink igoogle
I have had a look at some of the links for this module and like in paticular the University of Texas widgets available to assist with research. This site seems very simple with great instructions and some sensible search widgets. These include a Google Toolbar Button for the University of Texas Libraries which allows you yo add a button to your Google Toolbar for an easy way to search the University of Texas Libaries catalog as well as LibX Firefox Add-on for the University of Texas Libraries
which is a Web browser add-on that gives you direct access to the University of Texas Libraries resources with toolbars, right-click menus, embedded cues, and more.
Well I took note of the note on the CCLLearn Blog about travelling lightly throughout this section if you have a wordpress blog (which I do…..) and added some onsite W&G’s. I now have a calendar which highlights days new blogs are added as well as flickr photos. (only I couldn’t remember my flickr logon etc so they may be a bit random at first……..). I did try to follow the instructions in the blog and copy and paste in HTML mode in w0rdpress to add google widgets unfortunately without success. If you can enlighten me please do!!
