i just requested a book online from The Manukau libraries,

I was quite impressed, I have always been impressed with their easy to use searching, and enjoy the Botany library now that has opened.

BUT the one thing I didn't like was that I thought I had to go back to the library to keep checking on a book. I hate talking to people at the library, I don't know why I just do it annoys me, maybe a bad eperience when I was younger....

SO I went on the net to see if it has times that the library is open, and noticed you can search if the book is there or not, so I did a search saw it was still on loan, and thought its good I can check from my computer chair, then I noticed a wee link, "request book" clicked it and thought brilliant I can do this, had to enter in my library card number and a pin, I was thinking "argh I don't have a pin" so I tried a "standard" one, and it worked.

So now all I have to do is wait. but thats pretty cool...

anyway pretty geeky to I spose.
