Week 7: Tagging, del.icio.us, LibraryThing

After some help at a staff training morning, I was able to set up an account in Del.icio.us, saving a number of bookmarks, and then opened an account with LibraryThing, listing some of my latest favourites. Also created links to these from this blog.

Week 4 Revisited

Earlier on, I had trouble created an RSS feed, but have now done so - to ABC News.

Week 6: Video online & Google video




For this exercise, instead of spending hours looking at videos of no interest, I have found this old one of our beautiful niece, Jessi - we are absolutely amazed at her great voice !!

Comments on Wikis : week 5 Libraries Learning 2.0

This posting is for the purpose of 2.0 and looks rather weired on this blog , which I specifically set up for news for Swiss relatives!!!

1) SJCPL Subject Guides wiki.
Very impressed with the huge scope of the content.
Particularly liked the "Contents" box with its inclusion of magazines held on the subject
2) The full Library Success:a best practices wiki
Yes, this is a great way for sharing successful programs and ideas.
Noticed that they are keen to maintain some standards and uniformity, as they provide quite a lot of information on editing
3)Book Lovers Wiki
Particularly liked the book reviews.
