Post #13 Wiki's

I looked at some of the wiki's available. I like being able to read other peoples reviews on books, but I think wiki's are too easily edited. I think there is too much room for people to put spam in wiki's.

Post #12 Library 2.0

Reading Library 2.0 was interesting. Since I'm new to the Library and have not used libraries much since I was in school, it was interesting reading about print vs web. It sounds like libraries need to enlarge their online resources to keep the partons happy. I know students like being able to access websites and do research at all hours, not just when the library is open. I think there will always be a need for reference librarians. Not all students are into technology and need some help along the way.

Post #11 Technorati

I thought this was an interesting site. I liked being able to use the tags to find blogs that interest me. I like seeing videos, the tours of the libraries were awsome.

Post #10 Del.icio.us

I created a Del.icio.us account and added travel bookmarks to my account. I think this would be useful in bookmarking your favorite websites. I like being able to tag the bookmarks, saving time searching through all the bookmarks you have saved.

Post #9 Rollyo

I created a Rollyo search engine box, but once again I could not get the search box into my blog. I don't think I would use Rollyo much, I just Google!

I love this, something that was easy to do! Here are just a couple of books I've read. I am a big fan of historical romance novels, as you can see. Here is the link to my catalog: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/piersond

Post #7 Image Generator

I used the Sketch Artist in the Image Generator. I used a pictue of my great niece, Alexis. I liked being able to put a link on my blog for this website.
