THING 16, MN Library 2.0

At this point my "toolbox" is overflowing.

One physical efficiency tool I have found
not listed anywhere around these 23
Things is owning a mouse with a rapid scroll option.
You can roll down a long page in no time flat.
Look into getting the best mouse money can
buy.

Looked at the Assignment Calculator
at the University of MN site. WAY COOL!

I noted that when one fills out the calculator
with information and clicks the first step,
it linked to the The Writing Center,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
At the bottom of that page it said the material
was under creative commons permission.
So that means if you follow the protocol there
you could place a link on your own web site
for it without infringing on copyright.

Next step took me to OWL, an "online
writing lab", which I have actually used
in the past to write better inspection reports.

It was very nice to see a step by step guide
to doing an assignment and the timetable
one should follow to keep on track.
This "wheel" was not reinvented.
The calculator was put together with many
resources and looks VERY USEFUL.
