Here are your five things:

1. Do you want your mom to understand metadata? Have her read this!


2. How are modern libraries branching out? Check out this NPR story.


3. Are you interested in Aboriginal culture? Well, the world's largest collection will soon be online.


4. Here are 32 great free webinars for librarians being offered in September. Lots of information on the affordable care act, fall books, homelessness, embedded librarianship, etc.


5. Need some resources to demonstrate the value of libraries? Stephen Abram has compiled quite a list.
