#16 wikis

I liked the Princeton Public Library reading wiki, especially since one "staff reviews" included one of my top library thing books " The Girls". The more information link was interesting giving some background on the source of inspriation for the book. I think there is a lot of potential to develop something similar on our library webpages.

#15 On Library 2.0

After listening to all these podcasts and being able to click on videos to learn about features, I'm finding that I'm getting bored with websites where I have to read to find out how to do something, am I in danger of turning into my teenage children?. Maybe we need to consider using links to video or sound on our library webpage for bits like membership information or a welcome to the library or a "look where your library card will take you" tour when members join online etc. There's lots of opportunites for members to share their reading experiences via the librarywebpage and tags etc making hte webpage alive rather than a static place to visit.

#14 technorati

I searched for learning 2.0 and then another subject but there seemed a lot to trawl through, even with an advanced search I found I couldn't narrow it down enough to be useful for my liking, but then maybe I need to spend more time learning how to use this site.

#13 del.ici.ous

I've had a look at del.ici.ous and an excellent video lesson on youtube on social bookmarking, make's it look so easy and useful

#12 Rollyo

Ok, I made a rollyo list but I've got no idea how to make it appear on my blog or why I would even want it there anyway. Perhaps I need to take a deep breath and revisit the whole Rollyo thing....another day

#11 Librarything

Making a list of some of my favorite library books was easy but I'm still pondering how I make all those covers show up on my blog.
