I think the Library could use it for posting events and keeping track of upcoming events city wide. I think it would be a good resource for patrons as far as maybe locations, dates, addresses, and phone numbers of city or state programs.spirithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02027724244290673800noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1851448152827759446.post-78266143332423969242008-11-13T12:01:00.000-08:002008-11-13T12:07:23.208-08:00Wikis, so I don't know what I think about them. I can see where it could be fun to track a certain subject or participate in a thought. I think it could be helpful to patrons if our catalouge was connected to reviews on books or dvd's. I also think it would be helpful to have a wiki for instructional puposes, but then you would'nt really know if they were accurate. I don't really think I would trust the info.spirithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02027724244290673800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1851448152827759446.post-42430193775068921652008-11-13T11:31:00.000-08:002008-11-13T11:40:57.968-08:00Web 2.0I love the idea of a School Library Commons for students of every age. What a great <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">opportunity</span> for all students to learn about <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">their</span> school Library and the Public Library. The library is a vital roll in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">learning</span> and research for all students, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">whether</span> in school or not, and Web 2.0 is a great tool for this. I like the whole idea of how much information is available at any time. The interaction of people to people is a great comfort if you need answers quickly, but this in no way takes the value out of web 2.0.spirithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02027724244290673800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1851448152827759446.post-23113130278290641672008-11-03T11:40:00.000-08:002008-11-03T11:52:17.138-08:00I can see how someone could get completely lost for hours on Technotori. I put in the search word gardening and found myself looking under the tag words ( like plants, flowers,etc.) I understand the use of tags and how they make it easier to find more information.

Well anyway, I think I got it. I went to Bloglines and made a feed list, but I wasn't sure how to get that list to my blog, or if it works that way? I think this would be great at home to have a list pretaining to weather and gardening since I like to keep my finger on both.<br />I think there's probably a lot of people in the library that already use this for researching questions from patrons.

I worked at a gas station that didn't even have a cash register that was electric.<br /><br />I appreciate the convenience and speed of contacting friends in Texas or getting a map to a gathering I want to attend. When my mom was sick, I found a lot of information about her illness. I love having a digital camera, snap the picture and no waiting to see the results.<br /><br />I have to admit that I have become computer dependent for certain things. I think in some ways<br />that's a good thing and then sometimes I feel totally frustrated with program problems and<br />fear of virus's. I am looking forward to having my own MP3 player to experiment with.<br />Like everything that changes it has it's pros and cons.
