#16 Wiki's

Princeton Public Library wiki was great for summer reads. I liked the different choices of genres. It would be nice if it had a YA wiki. Nice to have year round to see what people thought of different books. The short reviews gave you just a taste of what the book was about.

Library Success: A best practice wiki-I think it is a shame that people are vandalizing that site. I do not see the point. Info is free to everyone. Now they have to go to extra steps to protect it.

Bull Run Library wiki - I liked the e-mail newsletter for educators and home schoolers. Several libraries afforded book discussions for example, group for people who like mysteries, comtemporary reads and I the library might try African American reads.

Also, I know why a keep seeing wikipedia on the web

#15 On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

I read the articles by Rick Anderson and Michael Stephens. I agree that libraries should plan for patron needs. We need to know what technology is out there and which if any of it can help our patrons. Libraries should not purchase a product just for the honor and glory of saying we have it available at our library. This is a waste of both time and money. Both of which are precious. Mr. Stevens saids that technology is changing quickly and we should be aware of both what's new in the library world and what is new in the business community.

Mr. Anderson believe's that the library should streamline its printed materials and focus more on technology. I disagree. Libraries should have a well around collection. We need both printed and web based materials. Althrough technology may be changing quickly a large majority of patrons are not. People have trouble ajusting to change. Mr. Anderson also states that the technology should require little to no instruction from staff. I don't care how simple it may seem to us, we still do a lot of hand holding. One example is "Seach Ohio". Some patron don't understand why the librarian can't do it on their computer.

I did a search on Learning 2.0. There were 22,255 hits. However not everything was about Learning 2.0. In the text, either learning or 2.0 was highlighted in the text. The blog directory had 578 entries. The top flavored blog was Boing Boing with 2,656 entries. This sight was interesting. It's about differnent cultures and technology. Top search was Youtube with 1,608,474. The results are from all over the world and include text in many different languages.

This is a good site for people who are doing research projects. Some students have to do group reports, this would be great for them. Easy access of info at one place. It's like one stop shopping. I set up an account.

I picked my own topic and found websites that are very useful. This is one that I will continue to use. It took sometime to find the sites but now that I have them it's a great tool. I am learnig more about computers every day. The only problem is maintaining the knowledge. It's like they say "if you don't use you lose it." But all in all I feel it's a good idea.

#11 Library Thing

Creating your own personnal library was easy. I like that your can read and write reviews and add books to your library. The only problem was trying to figure out how to put the information on my blog. I ask several people, unfortunately they were also having problems. Finally, after many frustrating tries Starr and I finally figured out how to do it.
