Week 7 Thing 16
Hello Bloggers,
A wiki is is a web site designed by a group of people to share knowledge and information. It is a flexible space, free and open. It is not well organized , as some would like. A wiki is Hawaiian for quick. It is a fast way to obtain information. Wikis are a collaborative effort and are constantly changing. I think it would serve well in libraies where change is imminent. I found an interesting BookWiki. There were many different book reviews to enjoy. You are welcome to edit and comment on each, if you so desire. . You can wiki information about books, pets, current events or historical locations. The path of knowledge is neverending...............

Week 6 Thing 15
What does Library 2.0 and the future of libraries mean to me?????
I have been coming to the library since I could walk. I have always loved the atmophere of the place. To be surrounded by so many books and to be able to enjoy them has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. When I started at the library a year ago, I noticed how much the world had changed and I knew the library, as I knew it, would have to change as well. I think allowing people to participate in library services is a innovative idea. There is much to be learned on both sides of the coin. In working at the library, I myself have had the opportunity to learn a lot from the patrons I interact with. I think the library needs to recognize how much we all have to offer and utilize our collective knowledge to it's benefit. I would love to be able to have unlimited web resources, as well as, a great cup of coffee available whenever I need it. So hears to the libraries of the future...............May we all be a part of it.

Hello All,
I just did a tour of Technorati. Lots of information at the tips of your fingers. There are links to blogs, video and a variety of information. The various tags allow you to find what you're looking for even faster than a web search. I enjoyed several videos. I also gots some great ideas from reading other peoples blogs. Technorati is well worth checking out.

Hello Blog Friends,
I was a little confused about this exercise. After hearing the tutorial about del.icio.us, I decided to look it over. The web site is a very good source of information.There were a lot of different tags used to locate information in a timely manner. I think this site is very useful to anyone looking for or to share information.

Hello all my blog friends,
I have just explored LibraryThing. It is an amazing site. There are lots of resources to find books by title, author, publisher etc. I signed up and created a short list. It's a great way to keep track of what I have read and let you know what I enjoyed. Please take a look at my link @ http://www.librarything.com/catalog/kfrey I hope you enjoy it. I will be adding to the list periodically when time allows.
