Thing 16 - Wikis

Found 2 wikis of special interest - Princeton Public Library - BookLovers Wiki. Great reviews garnered from an adult summer reading program. Very useful. ALA 2006 New Orleans Wiki. Found this one of particular interest since I am involved in 2007 CLA San José. We have established a Wiki very like the New Orleans one.
Readers advisory lends itself readily for a library wiki, where people can post their own reviews.
Also subject guides like the one from St. Joseph County Public Library.

Thing 15 Perspectives on Web 2.0

For Thing 15, I read 'Into a new world of librarianship' - Librarian 2.0. Creative ways to make libraries more user-centric. Users help define and plan services based on their needs.

Also read 'To more powerful ways to cooperate.' To me the most important part was 'harnessing collective intelligence,' especially in building a more useful WorldCat and allowing everyone to contribute to the cooperative.

Thing 14 - It is amazing to me the myriad of things people blog about. Having never been a diary or journal person, I sometimes just shake my head. Tagging can certainly quickly help you find what other people or news sites are saying about a topic you are interested in.

Interesting site - important to me that you can access bookmarks from any computer on the web!

Back to Library 2.0

I always intended to finish the 23 things - now I am back to do it. Joan wants us all to complete the program - so on we go!

:( :( Thing 11 is the END

:( :( :(

The 23 Things I have discovered are too much for a 20 hour parttimer. I don't have enough personal time to give to finish ALL 23. I am sure I will do some more exploring in the next few weeks, but not by March 30th.
