5 Things Thursday: Special Collections, Elvis, NYPL, ROI

Here are five great things:

1. Before there were rules about patron confidentiality, Elvis autographed this library card to check out a book.


2. Read this paper on the rising importance of Special Collections (my favorite!).


3. Are you aware that Hack Library School compiled an entire useful e-book?


4. Thank goodness, NYPL rethinks its redesign. Read about it here.


5. Extensis has developed an ROI calculator for DAM. It really is worth it...
