Another day at the library

I morphed into a Simpsons character and actually got it published in my blog. It worked!

Wiki

I think the idea of a wiki could be a very good thing. I like that it is a collective community on various topics, books, etc. It is quick, current, and people are able to give their input instantly. I really liked the SJCPL Wiki subject guide. I loved how it was set up and how much information was available. I also thought the ALA Midwinter 2007 Wiki was great too. It had all kinds of pertinent information regarding the conference, but also had a place for questions and responses to the questions - responses that anyone could make. In the library I can see it as very valuable - when researching a subject, trying to find a "mystery" book with no title or author, giving staff current information about what is going on at the library, etc.

LibraryThing

I heard a lot of positive comments about this website. It looks like it could be very useful for a variety of reasons. It could be useful for cataloging as well as giving me all kinds of information regarding specific books and reviews. I will be revisiting this site. You can check it out at http://www.librarything.com.

del.icio.us

Browsing through del.icio.us, it looks like it could be very helpful. I'm not sure how much I will use it at the moment, but it seems like it could be useful. Tagging and sharing sounds like a good thing, as well as being able to use your bookmarks at any computer.
