Week 7 Thing 17

I explored the Maryland Libraries Sandbox site, created an account, and added my blog to the Favorites list. I enjoyed looking around at the different wiki pages.

Week 7 - Thing 16

I'm familiar with Wiki's since our library system has been using them for several years. We use it for team reports, the Pipeline, and job descriptions. I like using Wikipedia, although you have to be careful since anyone can edit it. Libraries can use wikis for book clubs, as a community information wiki or to promote a specific event.

Week 6 Thing 15

After watching the YouTube video by Michael Wesch and reading "Away from icebergs", I have a better understanding of what Library 2.0 is all about. There have been so many changes in libraries in the last ten years, but I'm sure it doesn't compare with what it on the horizon.

Week 6 - Thing 14

I explored Technorati, which is a search tool for blogs. I did the different searches (favorite blogs, posts, and tags) and got different results for each. Since I'm new to blogging, I'm not sure how much I would use this site. Hopefully, when time allows, I will come back to explore this site further.

Week 6 - Thing 13

After viewing the podcast and exploring PLCMCL account, I can see the possibilities for Del.icio.us. It would be great for students doing research or anyone wanting to have access to their bookmarks from any computer

Week 5 - Thing 12

I played around with Rollyo and created an account. I'm not sure I will ever use it again although I can see where some people would find it interesting. Just didn't do anything for me.

Week 5 - Thing 11

I explored Library Thing, created an account, and so far have add 8 books to my library. This would be a great way to keep track of all the books you read. http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=barbb&shelf=shelf
