Google Street View Goes to the Amazon
The Google mapping team has headed down to South America for a little Amazon street view (well, river view anyway) mapping. The vehicles of choice will mostly be boats and bicycles to bring all of us a great view. This is another in a series that entertains more than informs. Kudos to the Google team. I’m sure the results will be spectacular.
Canadian Library Will Loan Out People as Well as Books
For centuries the public library has been a great source of knowledge through books. Now one library in Canada is opening up the scope of how you acquire knowledge at the library; by offering up skilled people. Why read a history book when you can talk to a historian?
The program is far less insidious than it sounds. The library has assembled a group of volunteers with particularly interesting skills or histories, and has a system in place to put these people in touch with knowledge seekers. If you’re looking for someone to practice your German with, or to ask about their experiences during the Great Depression, or their struggle with illness, the library will put you in touch with an appropriate individual. Once in touch, you can meet in the library’s cafe, keeping the entire operation under one roof.
