ZoHo Thing 18

Zoho seems pretty easy to use and has some great features. I'll be exploring this one later....

Untitled

Yes!  Exploring zoho now.  I found the emotions and I inserted this pic of a musical happening at LOV.

#17 pbwiki

I added a link to my blog there, and a favorite or two. Onward...

thing 16 wots in a wiki

OK, I know how truly nifty wikis are. It'd be great if LCPL could get through the County/DIT hurdles and have some of that functionality. Reader reviews/annotations on the catalog (gasp!), bookclubs, subject/research guides, community resources/information; egad, that'd be great. I think folks would like it. Some great ideas out there - I'll be returning to the best practices wiki. On to #17!

Library 2.0

Better Library Services For More People - That's the name of the succinct Michael and Casey article ttp://www.techsource.ala.org/blog/2006/01/better-library-services-for-more-people.html and the rationale behind what we as librarians continue to work to provide. Only the tag and the technology is new; the concept and philosophy of service is not. It's great that so many librarians and library systems are trying to be proactive with regard to meeting users where they now live and incorporating Web/Library 2.0 training/partnerships for/with staff, and participation, interactivity, etc. for their customers. I also liked the idea of the brandy and single malt someone referred to related to holding onto some of our traditional roles... hmmm, maybe I better go back and reread that....

Technorati

Interesting to explore this - the results of the various searches are very different. The watchlists concept is a good one, again, if I only had the time.
The "favorite/popular" blogs were interesting to explore some - I ended up following links for way too long into way too vastly different subject areas. I need more focus!

Thing 13 - Del.icio.us

I enjoyed exploring Del.icio.us. I may possibly use it as an adjunct to exploring a subject and it's a nifty feature that I can get to my bookmarks from any computer anywhere through the account. I'll definitely go back to this and explore more.
