Wiki Sandbox

I've asked for an account but apparently it takes awhile before you really have an account. As soon as I get notification that I'm "good" I'll attach my blog. In the meantime, since I'm working under the wire, I'll post this for now! I do love Wiki's by the way. They Rock!

Library 2.0

I've got to do a lot more reading on this subject, but at first glance (or should I say first article read) I find the concept of Library 2.0 exciting. Its time that the library become more user driven! Duh! That is how we keep them coming back..our users are part of the process and thus, a part of their library. So many customers refert to CML as "my" library. With Library 2.0 that will now really become their reality!

Wiki's

Now...here is something I am familiar with. Almost a year ago, Keith(IT) and I met to discuss the Tactical Plan item in which IT supports InfoLine. I told him I envisioned an on-line Rolodex in which all the information we need on the phone is literally at our fingertips. We created a small working group that included our Wiki Team and two IT staff members to create our own personal Wiki that would serve the function of a "Rolodex". 8 months later we have an awesome Wiki (WikiMart) designed specifically for our needs. So much of what we need while on the phone is literally just 2 clicks away. Here is the link if you'd like to take a look.

Just think...a year ago, when I met with Keith and he said "how about we create a Wiki for you?". And I said "Wiki What?" Now...I'm a Wiki Fan

Delicious

Okay...I've got my Delicious account up and running. I really didn't see the point of this account because I thought it was the same as a favorites bookmark. Type A Librarian then explained to me that Delicious follows me wherever I go! Way cool...a traveling bookmark!

Library Thing

I finally had some time to play around on Library Thing. I love it! I posted a few favorite titles but, to me, the most exciting part is finding all kinds of reading recommnedations by people with tastes similiar to mine! I plan on returning to Library Thing very often.

Twitter

As I continue to work on catch up for Learn and Play, I actually skipped Library Thing for now (although I did open an account on Library Thing) and went straight to Twitter. I've heard so much about Twitter, I just had to get on board. I've now got my Twitter opened and ready to go but not sure that I have anything interesting to say yet. I guess I'll tweet slowly as I get more comfortable. Tweet Tweet!!
