Google Gadgets for iGoogle

'Adding Google Gadgets to Your OPAC by John Wohlers.' The title really should have been about creating Google gadgets that bring your OPAC, Federated Search and other resources to iGoogle. It was a tech and jargon heavy session that could be very useful. Check out his webpages at:
The Library: http://library.waubonsee.edu/
The Google Gadgets he has made: http://library.waubonsee.edu/engine/102
His techy blog: http://library.waubonsee.edu/technology/
His presentation is available for download from the AKLA wiki at: http://aklaconference2010.pbworks.com/%E2%81%AFAdding-Google-Gadgets-to-Your-OPAC

Program Abstract: John Wohlers will demonstrate how libraries can create Google Gadgets that make it possible to integrate the library catalog into patrons’ iGoogle pages. He will demonstrate other gadget possibilities, including the real time display of a patron’s account via SIP2.
