For anybody who's new to this blog, the “Friday Fun Link” is something that I've been doing in one form or another since the late 1990's. It began when I compiled the Saskatchewan Publisher's Group's semi-monthly electronic newsletter, SaskF@cts. I added a section to highlight interesting, relevant or unique web sites for our members. When I moved to Alberta and worked for the Writers Guild of Alberta, I resurrected the idea after setting up a listserv for that organization's members and it officially became the “Friday Fun Link“. When I came to library school, I was asked by a fellow student to help out with LibrarianActivist.org and that provided a good opportunity to resurrect the idea once more. I also cross-post the Friday Fun Links on my blog (to make my attempts to post on a daily basis a bit easier, at least once per week.)
Here's this week's FFL:
