WorldCat.org has been enhanced with a social-networking feature: Users across the Web can now add individual items cataloged in WorldCat to personalized lists. They can group items owned by SDSM&T and other WorldCat libraries, and share their lists with friends, colleagues and millions of site users. Users can add any book, video, article or another item to a list right from its WorldCat record, or use the checkboxes and "Save to" button in WorldCat search results. Patrons can build as many lists as they like on any subject. Lists can be public—which allows other WorldCat users to search for and discover them—or private so only the list author can view them. (A list's privacy is easily changed by following its "Settings" link.) And a public list can be shared with anyone, regardless of whether they've used WorldCat before: The "Share" link lets a list author send an invitation via e-mail.

Last week a crew from the PBS television series History Detectives recorded a segment at the Devereaux Library. A team of investigators led by Gwen Wright stopped at the library on their quest to solve a mystery surrounding Gutzon Borglum and Mt. Rushmore. The group spent about 5 hours using the resources of the Devereaux Library and recording footage. History Detectives is aired locally on South Dakota Public Broadcasting, KBHB. We have not received a specific date for the debut of this particular segment; however, it is scheduled to be shown in the upcoming season this summer. For more information about the program, check out the History Detectives website http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/
