Welcome! Technology books become obsolete quickly, so let’s make best use of them while they are new. BlinkMonitor helps you notice the arrival of new books (use the RSS feed). It also helps you locate books by using a classification system that is simpler than the libraries’. And maybe you will like the 5-star books as much as I do.
The books mentioned at this site are generally from the Ottawa Public Library (OPL). Follow the link into the library site, place a hold online, then pick it up at your local branch.
OPL gets many new books each year; I only mention the ones I like. The best ones get a 5-star rating, but you won’t see many with 4 or 3 stars because I did not get around to it yet. OPL’s tech books are mostly about software, and unfortunately there is not much about electronics, biotech, or nanotech.

Feedback
BlinkMonitor is written and maintained by Rick Leir to help out the Ottawa tech community. If it is useful to you, I would like to hear from you. Also, do you have ideas on how can we extend this site to other libraries, in other cities?
