2.0 Notes

The End

2009-03-09T07:10:00.001-07:00

The Web 2.0 exercise was a good “forced” introduction to social networking tools. In some cases it was “an explore further.” I appreciate the example of how libraries are using this new technology. I also have an expanded list of library blogs.

I look forward to going back and crafting my delicious account to be a reference and RA in my own work. At the moment I keep a paper list for books read except for picture books which I have in an Excel spreadsheet. Whether or not I change to other methods I don’t know. I will have to consider purpose, preference and ease of use. However, now I know of other sites besides LibraryThing that I can chose from.

del.icio.us

2009-02-19T17:04:00.000-08:00

I have used this feature. It is easy and fun. Anytime I was in a website of interest I could just click and it was pretty much added to my list. I had just started organizing my account when I lost my password. When I am ready I will begin using again.

Largo Public Library (FL) uses Del.icio.us to organize their recommended sites.

Wikis

2009-02-05T12:00:00.001-08:00

We used wikis in grad school:
* Finals - each person in our study group summarized a section and posted it to a wiki
* Project - website for an environment resource center.

I will be looking out for a wiki for ALA June 2010. It looked useful especially to the uninitiated.

Zoho

2009-01-22T15:32:00.000-08:00

There was some confusion with Zoho as it already listed my email address. I had no recollection that I had been there before, but I was there and already had a document started...something about Ella finding golden orbs. Zoho was easy to use although I had a little difficulty changing fonts and finding the word count box. I tried publishing a document into my blog and it was easy to do.

It would be useful if co-workers were working on a plan or document together.

RSS Feeds & Google Reader

2009-01-22T15:29:00.000-08:00

I signed up for google reader. I put in feeds to professional library blogs, favorite fun stuff, and a co-worker's informative and well-written blog.

Wishes

2009-01-22T15:24:00.003-08:00

Wishes and other dream-like things (Zoho document transfer test).

I created a Flickr account this morning and took some pictures of leaves to share with a friend. It was easy to set-up. I just have to remember to write down my registration information in my “little pink book.”

It really is a great way to share photos with family and friends who request photos frequently. A former co-worker uses Flickr to advertise her artwork.

I did a search for libraries and Flickr. I enjoyed the photo collections of Hennepin County Library system in Minnesota. They have many collections including those with images of programs, artwork, staff, and library buildings.
