Wiki post

It was very easy to post to the wiki. It is a wonderful way to post reviews and opininons about books. This would extremely useful with book clubs or gaming programs

Wiki

What a neat way to have your own webpage. I like that fact that you can keep track of editing changes in the wiki and go back to the orginal post if needed. It seems very easy and if at sometime in my life I feel that I have inportant information I will certainly open a wiki. For the library I can see it as a good tool to use in maybe book clubs or teen groups.

IM revisited

Ok, after seeing how other libraries are using IM maybe I will be ok participating in IM reference in the library. I see that you don't use long answers and that use of web resources are recommended. My turn to IM real time will be coming soon so I'll see.

IM

I do not like IM. I feel stressed when I have to respond right away in writing to a question. With e-mail you can review your reply, get someone to proof read and not have to worry about someone is sitting on the other end waiting for a reply. They say that spelling is not important and that typos or pretty much ok, but I feel that if I do something wrong the other person is thinking, "who are those people working at the library"? It's taking me forever just to write this stupid blog. I don't think I'll ever use it in my personal life and I am doing it in the library under duress. If my attitude changes in the near future, I'll be happy to blog about it.

RSS feeds

It's pretty cool stuff. I like going to one site and seeing current information from selected sites. I like bloglines better than google reader at this point in my 2.0 experience. I like the layout of the page.

Do I feel the same?

I feel a lot differently. I believe that libraries have a responsibility to offer what the public wants. We should not try to hold on to old ways. Electronic resources are here to stay and we need to be forerunners in providing information in the way the customer wants.

Feelings Web2.0

I'm not quite sure hat it all means. I think it's a great marketing scheme. I can see librarians wearing 2.0 buttons and t-shirts very soon. But it is a logical way of bundling technology services.

Habits

The hardest habit to follow is teach and mentor others. Who has time. Work, family and stuff. So I guess this is the one I need to work on the most. Easiest, accept responsiblity for your own learning. If I don't accept responsibility who will. It's all my fault. So I learn as much or as little as I choose.
