Week 7: Thing 16

I like the idea of wikis, because you can add to the homepage of a particular subject. Before this exercise I visited wikipedia to learn about some wrestlers. I like being able to update the information or other users updating the information.

My favorite wikis are the ones about a particular subject. It helps to have the site continually updated by different users and to not depend on the originator for updates. It also broaden the scope of the subject by how others search/ look at the subject.

I also like the book lovers were you could list a link to a review on a book. The wiki had different types of literature and a link to the review done by different people. If I am into romance, I could use the wiki to read reviews or add reviews of books. It helps me because I am not always into the type of books being discussed at book talks here at the library.

A book lovers wiki helps bring in the teens and young adults. Book talks often forget about teen and young adults. They read different literature then adults. They often will not take the time to come in for this type of event, but if you ofter them a place to go online and check out books in a event of a book lovers' wiki night, then I think they would come.

In general it helps those at home to use library resources of databases, because the wiki would list terms and a link to a section on a database for that particular subject. It is more attractive to users then just a homepage of links to different databases.

Week 6:Thing 15

I like the article from Rick Anderson. I totally agree with his points. We as library staff must educate ourselves on the new technology available. These new technlogies will enhance how we answer patron questions in person and remotely. We will know how to shape our services in such a way that users will find them with less road blocks.

Week 6: Thing 14

When searching for Learning 2.0 blogs through blog search, the blog were about how to do different things. Tagging definitely seems closer way to search for Learning 2.0. Blog directory shows learning 2.0 items from around the world.
I like technorati, because of the different views and news that you can learn about on your subject.

Week 6: Thing 13

Del.icio.us is nice, but not something that I would use. I like the idea of tagging and having user notes available. It is very useful for gettting around the internet from any computer.

Week 5: Thing 12

I liked Rollyo because I have a hard time finding and keeping track of the deals. I listed the results of my creation of the right.

Week 5: Thing 11

My Personal Library Catalog

I mostly read romance novels. This is much easier to use than what I started out with. I used to catalog my books with excel.

Week 5: Thing 10

I created a ticket for my favorite past time. I would love to visit Orlando, Florida to see them.

This is my avatar that I created with yahoo avatar.

Image Generators are so much fun and they are easy to use. I would like import an image for my blog page.
