Thing 11 : Shortening a URL.

Here is a URL shortener for ArtStor, one of the databases at LFCC. http://bit.ly/VrKgC. I found shortening the URLs for databases to be extremely interesting and a lot of fun. But I can see the applications for working with students. It would be nice, if you needed to send a student or patron a link to an online article or to a particular website to send an email with the shortened link. I know I hate to copy and paste extremely long URLs myself.
