[Web4lib] Examples of Library Use of Web Widgets, Gadgets, and Badges?

[Sharon Foster]

I use an embedded Google Calendar on our Events page. Each department can
keep its own events up-to-date, and no one has to have a special application
(Dreamweaver, Contribute, etc.) to do it. We can make changes from any
networked computer, even from home.
