Thing 28 - Customized Home Pages

I embellished an iGoogle page with my Google calendar, my Delicious bookmarks, the weather, and a Spanish Word a Day. It was pretty easy. I hope the Google calendar continues to work. I know other people who use it in a iGoogle page, and it frequently has to be deleted and readded because the application is very buggy.

As far as using this for the library, it might be interesting. We are currently using Google calendar to keep track of staff meetings, sick time, vacation time, and also for scheduling our conference rooms in the library, and lots of staff keep that open all the time. I don't know that it would display enough information as a widget to be useful. But it's something to think about.
