[stuff on where to get sensors deleted]
Depending on how many you need, wireless sensors for weather stations could
make more sense (you can run them on different channels to prevent
interference). Plus you can use the weather software to generate graphs,
upload data, etc.

experimentation. Since they're cheap it'll be easy to embed them all
over the place.

Over the past few days we’ve received a ton of great proposals. Choosing the
best is not going to be easy, and however we choose, I know there will be some
great presentations that we won’t get to h
I like the idea. I'd also like to experiment with microphones that can detect
the noise level in reading rooms so when a student is looking for a quiet one,
they look at the "heat map" of the reading rooms and avoid the ones that are
red and go to the quieter light blue ones...
Hi Ellen!
How about a just javascript that randomly spits out temperatures
around 70° Fahrenheit? That would cost less and have the knock-on
effect of stifling student dissent.

I couldn't help but think that meteorologists and archivists should already
be doing this. Perhaps
You could nail digital thermometers up and point webcams at them then
run that through OCR.
( sorry, I was thinking about what might actually get approved in the
budget...)

If this doesn't meet the definition of "Geek the Library", I don't know
what else would.
+1 OCLC Approval
Hm. And if you collected and recorded the data for some period of time, you
might be able to use it to convince Building Services (or whoever) to try to
fix the problem.

Ellen,
Sounds fun.
I'd start with an Arduino + temperature sensor

You'd need other kit to get it to a webserver, which this video covers nicely.

Sounds like a neat idea. I wonder if you could get electrical engineering
students to build DIY sensors from kits and make a real educational project out
of it.

Hi Ellen,
I think this is a great idea. If you could collect temperature readings with a
date/timestamp, you could even create graphs of indoor weather over time. Maybe
this could be done with a PHP/MySQL script, or even have the temperature
"tweeted" using the Twitter API?
I actually had the
