#13 Tagging and Discover Del.icio.us
I explore this some and set up a mini account. I can see the benefit of having the same bookmarks available from any PC one is using and also the collaborating/research uses. I did find the site a bit hard to use, probably because the tutorials had been turned off. I am not one to always read directions, so the step by step tutorial would have benefited me and my understanding of how all this works.I did create an account and put the main site I visit everyday, The Hunger Site... http://del.icio.us/areinecke.
#14 Discover Technorati and learn how tags work with blogs
I am impressed with the amount of organization we can tap into to sift and manage information and social intercourse. Evolution and necessity in order to maintain contacts and not be over burdened with locating what you need. Sort of like getting rid of the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. What a time saver and way to leave more time for analyzing, processing and generating ideas. http://technorati.com/
#15 Web 2.0, Library 2.0 & the Future of Libraries
Libraries have been moving towards these concepts and practices since the advent on the Internet. We identified the changes to our roles and continue to work towards ways to provide our users with the services and resources they need and want. The notion of information evolving from a commodity to a product to a service to a neo-library experience pretty much put the right spin our our efforts. We are in a competitive market. Users, especially the younger generations, are more connected via social computing and will continue to increase. L2 means staying on top of changes in technology and identifying how they can be applied to library users. It means more of a collaboration between libraries and their users, getting away from the unidirectional relationships of the past. Libraries are communities, where the collective knowledge and experience can be shared in both directions.
