Week 6 things ...

Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati was on the agenda for week 6. Also, we were ask to read a few perspectives on Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of libraries and blog our thoughts.

Some thoughts ...
After watching the video The Machine Is Us/ing Us, by Michael Wesch; it is true, we are the web. We are learning and teaching each other in so many different ways. It is Us Using Us. Change is happening faster than ever before. Technology is changing ... Information is changing ... We are all changing in so many ways.

Week 5 things ...

It's play week, and today I played around with online image geneators, Rollyo, and took a look at Library Thing, which is where you can create your very own library online. It's like a "My Space for books."

Week 4 things ...

Week 4 things consisted of RSS & Newsreaders. I'm finding these "things" to be overwhelming at times. It's taking me hours instead of minutes to accomplish what I feel I need to do. I'm glad I am on vacation, because I think I probably would have been fired today for "PLAYING!" There's just so much information to view. I did manage to create an account on Blogline newsreader and add several feeds that I hope will be helpful. Also, there is definitely some great information on MERLIN concerning Maryland libraries in today's technical world. I enjoyed the time I spent there.

Take a look ...
