wiki again...

#15 I did post onto that site and you can read my blog comment there!

wiki, wiki, wiki...

#14 I tried going into all of the sites listed. Interesting--I already knew about wikipedia and used it but didn't know the origins of what a "wiki" was. I would assume that wiki could be a valuable tool for library use.

"cool" icebergs...

#13 I read most of the info under the library 2.0 section. I understood and can comment on the "Away from Icebergs" reading. It was very interesting and I agreed that we, as a library, need to move away from the traditional service/collection mode that we are in presently. It seems that we ARE doing so, slowly, but with the advancement of technology we have to be more proactive when it comes to choosing our "collections" and in educating our patrons in the use of information services. Libraries are becoming more "self-serving" which saddens me in many ways, but we will become extinct if we do not move with technology!

technorati...

#12 I tried the site but it was a bit difficult to get involved in. I will attempt to spend more time and effort to use the site and see what it affords me. I DID try to search for "Learning 2.0" and did find useful info in that--esp. in the blog area.

tagging...

#11 This del.icio.us thing is fun also. I learned a lot about tagging and did this with my rss feeds and my book list. I can see that this could be useful for research and fun, actually. Yes, this is a good way to store your favorites, although I have many favorites in my computer!! Not sure how long it would take me to convert, but it may be worth it.
