Sandbox

I added my blog to the Favorite Blogs page

Wikis

I went to several of the wikis listed and particularly liked the Booklovers Wiki at Princeton Public Library. Having all those categories would help to easily find book reviews of interest to patrons and others. I also spent some time reviewing CCPL wikis on the intranet. I know minutes often are posted on there. I had forgotten that staff is encouraged to add to the Job Description Wiki.

Web 2.0

I read Into a new world of librarianship and Away from the "icebergs" and found the following to engage me the most:

"This librarian recognizes how quickly the world and library users change with advancing technology. Project timelines that stretch on for months simply do not work in Library 2.0 thinking."

"We need to focus our efforts not on teaching research skills but on eliminating the barriers that exist between patrons and the information they need. But if our services can't be used without training, then it's the services that need to be fixed -- not our patrons."

Technorati

Technorati give me a headache

Tagging, etc.

I read about del.icio.us and finally understood (through examples like The Cook's Thesaurus) how these tags work

Rollyo

I went to Rollyo and read about the possibilities. Then I set up my own Rollyo (Get the facts!)

Good News/Bad News

While helping a co-worker add her Meez image to her blog, I cautioned that I had problems with the full body image, but was able to add it to my blog when I switched to a head shot instead. She copied the URL for the full shot and it worked perfectly. Since then I edited my profile again, changing the head shot to a full body shot and it worked. As for the good news/bad news? The good news is that I was glad to have the full image because it's animated, the bad news is I have no idea why it worked.
