Everybody's Workin' for the Weekend....

• A St. Louis area library collects 5,471 cans of food in lieu of overdue book fines...
• Here's a peer-reviewed wikipedia... Scholarpedia....
• LitSum, online literature summaries for those too lazy or too busy to read real books...
• Ancestry.com is currently making Passenger and Immigration Lists available for free... Search a huge database of immigration records from 1820 to 1960 freely until November 30. (Nice interface and web design also.)
• Find the nearest mailbox...
• A guide to Public Opinion polling sites....
• The National Book Awards have announced the 2006 winners. Constant Reader may recognize M. T. Anderson, the winner of the Young People's Literature prize, as an author I dissed a couple of posts ago. Coming soon... I pick the winners for the Kentucky Derby, March Madness, Super Bowl, and Academy Awards.
• Play an Information Literacy game from the University of North Carolina Greensboro. (and unrelated to anything but fun, a really enjoyable typing game called Word Shoot from Cognitive Labs.)

and finally, from the Defacing Old Books to Make Crappy Craft Projects department: Build a Book Picture Frame!
