Wordle meets Dewey
October 2, 2008

I've been playing around with and blogging about Wordle, the online tag cloud generator, for quite a while now.
Last night, I discovered Lucy and Ethel's Library Schemes' wonderful suggestion about using this tool to create Dewey signs.
Using the OCLC Dewey Summaries, with a bit of editing (for instance, eliminating unassigned and optional numbers and pasting the number in several times), you can create cool signs that attractively help students locate materials on the shelves.
(Note: after you create your Wordle, don't forget to unclick remove numbers in the Language tab. You might also want to paste extra copies of words representing larger holdings in your own collection.)
