GAGs - GeniAus' Gems - 15 April 2016

Another week as a participant in the A-Z Blogging Challenge has flown by. I found some new blogs, some of which I may follow and some which I won't visit again. It is worth visiting the list of participants to see the range of ordinary and unusual blogging topics there.


A few of my selections this week come from the challenge and quite a few from libraries and institutions. 

1. Jayne deals with some rescued items.

Love Your Brisbane: Past and Present. I should look at it more often than I do. Interesting about PRO being searchable on Trove. Tinycat! How excited am I? My blog now features a Tinycat search widget. Thank you too for the mention this week.
