There was a small glass room sitting in an exhibit booth as I walked by and I had to stop. Was it something for cell phone use, a time out room? I did not know so asked. The glass room was a representative sample of a product called Genius Architectural Walls. These are glass or panel walls that can be set up with no construction, taken down, moved or reconfigured.
They will not be the answer to every building problem but it is an interesting concept to provide office space or meeting room space that has the potential for reconfiguration with out construction costs.

Exhibit Ramblings
Three online products I found interesting
The Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus Think of a root systems and words at the ends of roots to visualize how they are related. They are also in Spanish and there is audio so you can hear the words pronounced. Might be a product schools would be interested in.
Need information on different countries of the world? Have you heard about Country Watch? This online database provides information on socio-demographic, cultural, historical, economic, political, environmental and more about the 192 countries and also non-sovereign nations that make up our world. They have real-time, full-text news articles from the countries and a map gallery. This is an interesting product, which all libraries might want to look at.
And finally a product called SimplyMap from Geographic Research, Inc. They have combined demographic, business and marketing data into a user-friendly interface. Choose a location and click on the choices of data you want. This is a powerful tool.
OK that is all from ALA-Mid-Winter. Next week another topic.
