[Libs-Or] recycling media containers/tapes?

Wed May 26 12:37:12 PDT 2010

In addition to most e-waste, Freegeek in SE Portland will take video/audio tapes for free and break them down for recycling.  They are on 10th, a couple blocks south of Hawthorne. They probably don't want the containers though. 

But of course, FarWest Fiber will certainly take plastic cases of any kind, though they too probably want at least most of any paper separate from the cases.

> Workshop Description: 
> Is your library taking advantage of the free Add-ons for Firefox? One of the
> great features of Firefox, the popular open-source web browser, is the

> training to learn how you and your library can make use of these free tools.
> 
> 
> Add-ons to be discussed include 
> 
> * LibX <http://libx.org/> (Bring your library to the desktops of your
> users, and make life easier for your collection development staff)
> * Zotero <http://www.zotero.org/> (Easier to use than RefWorks, and
> free!) 
> * Accessibility features (A range of support tools for visibility and
> mobility impaired computer users) 
> * Add to Search <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3682>
> Bar (Make any page's search functionality available in the Search Bar) 
> * AutoPager <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4925>
> (Automatic loading of the next web page) 
> * KwiClick <http://www.kwiclick.com/> (Enhance your interaction with
> Google, You Tube, and more) 
> * PermaTabs <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2558>
> (Make tabs of your choice available permanently) 
> * and more! 
> 
> Our panel of experts includes: Theresa Yancey (Reference Librarian,

> plugins for Firefox; Michael Bowman (Engineering Librarian, Portland State
> University Library) who will discuss the Zotero citation management tool;
> and James Bunnelle (Acquisitions/Collection Development Librarian, Lewis &
> Clark College Library) who will discuss the LibX application.
>

> solutions involved in modding and extending software on both staff and
> workstation computers, the comparative advantages of closed source and open
> source software solutions, and other topics relating to web browsers and
> extending software. Please come ready to contribute to a vibrant
