Thing 14

OK, my brain is still on vacation (its taking me longer then usual to get back into the swing of things) even if I have returned to work. I am still navigating through the "Discover Technorati" thing but what I have found in placing "learning 2.0" in the search field is that many libraries are participating in the '23 Things'. You will find many blogs refering to 'thing 4' or 'week 5'. Its interesting how popular this has become. Though it does not suprise me after doing the discovery exercise #2 what are the favorite searches or popular blogs.

Thing 13

I've checkout Del.icio.us and find that it would be very useful to the library, especially the librarians on the Info Desk. The could bookmark sites that are popular and used frequently when assisting customer. This could make the encounter with the customer quicker and the customer would not have to wait while we try to navigate and search for different sites. The bookmarks would allow these sites to accessible together.

Thing 12

I've created my Rollyo. I don't know if there would be much use of this tool for me but I am sure other people would use it. There wouldn't be a site like this if no one had a use for it right? Anyway I finished thing 12 and have been moving along.

Thing 11

Being able to catalog your own books was fun. I am sure people who have a 'library' at home and love to be extremly organized would love to use this. I really liked the fact that you can click on amazon.com to help search for titles that you may want to add. Here is a link to my catalog with some of my favorite reads. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/butterflydiva
