Wikis – Wikis are much like blogs except that all visitors have the ability to add, edit or delete information. Seems sort of weird doesn’t it? The goal is to use a wiki to create a collaborative piece of knowledge. If all of mankind is separated by 6 degrees, well then, all of man’s knowledge is only 6 separations away. Not so silly is it? Take a look at Wikipedia and search for your own piece of profound wisdom.How do these topics connect?
Wikis and Blogs are both communication venues which can change easily. They also are sources which must be verified for accurate and credible information. This is why college professors do not accept "Wikipedia" as a reference source and, in fact, some colleges have banned the use of "Wikipedia" for research.

Library Use for Blogging
How was the process of creating your blog? Scary? Frustrating? Easy? Can you see a use for blogs inside the Library? How about blogging for a patron audience? Comments are the fuel that blogs run on.
Yes, blogging is a great opportunity for promoting library activities such as upcoming events, book club Q & A, soliciting input, offering election information, etc.

Blogging
My experience with Blogging - April 2007
Blogging is a bit like talk radio. It is an opportunity for people to communicate on a variety of topics with varying degress of accuracy. Many people enjoying voicing their thoughts and opinions in an open format which allows others to comment on what they think. There is also a degree of popularity in posting your opinion on a blog so you can tell someone you're online and here is my blog - read my post. Blogging is another way of sharing information. The information may or may not be accurate.

Course Survey

Share – Post a blog entry that discusses this course. Think about on-line learning – do you like it? Yes I like online learning when the tone of the creator is intelligent and fun like you.Why or why not? Why because it is convenient and afficient. Without mentioning names, have you offered to help anyone. I haven't offered to help anyone - only because they didn't seem to need help. I did witness someone else offering to help someone both parties are in other departments. Has someone helped you? No, but my assistant manager offered to help with any questions I might have. Are you part of a team working on this together? A team working on this project as individuals. How is that working out? Great.It is a big help to have the prearranged scheduling to do this. Did you reach out to another location? Well, yes, in cyberspace. Realize that this is all part of a larger program called Life.exe. In Life.exe, we all have to work together, and when we do, we all benefit. Sort of Hippy logic, I know, but it is something I believe in. Thank you!

Fun Week

Create a blog entry and tell us what you liked:I liked the music on "Chugged" very much. "Bottletalk" was interesting to particularly since I found a reveiw of a line of wines from Chile, Anakena, which I like a lot. Their Sauvignon Blanc is very nice and the "Bottletalk" entry mentioned a red which I hope to try.

Library Technology

My favorite library technlogy is eBooks. The speed at which one can access details in specialized areas of interest is useful. Specifically, the ability to search content in seconds is excellent for librarians directing customers to access publications for research projects, presentations and homework assignments.

Application

The application that I liked best and tell is the SEOmoz - lulu.comI like their style and graphic designs. I did not personally share the program with anyone. But the QL team talked about various aspects of it. I was not surprised to find an OCLS presence on Myspace or Youtube. I knew about them already, but thanks for highlighting them. The Web 2.0 video reminded me of one of the "Harold and the Purple Crayon" movings and an old horror film I saw when I was about five, both of which I liked.

MP3
Share - Create a blog entry in response to this question: How are you going to use your MP3 player?Thank you for asking. I have been thinking about this from the beginning and have still not decided yet. One possibility is to download audio books to use for demonstrating at school talks and other outreach visits how our Net Library service works. Having access to the NET Library service is great feature to promote! The portability of an MP3 player is helpful for those outreach visits where computer access is limited. Demonstrating to kids and other potential customers how they can listen to books from the library is exciting. At one outreach visit I had at Arbor Ridge School a teen was listening to a download of Charles Dickens from our website when we met. (He didn't know about the content search feature for eBooks, though, a helpful tool for high school research paper.)
