#16 So What's in a Wiki

Just love the sound - wiki wiki ! Believe wikis can be very useful for community groups / clubs promoting meetings , putting up agendas etc. Students could benefit by reading about other sudents' experiences in certain subjects , feedback etc. Of course , the drawbacks are that anybody is free to add/ edit and one mustn't take all information posted on a Wiki as gospel.
Each branch could have a Wiki for staff news , meeting times , agenda and promotions within the Branch .

Tagging , Folksonomies and Social bookmarking Post #12

Have had some annual leave and thought I would quickly visit Del.icio.us , Technorati and Web2.0 Library 2.0 . I believe that many people would love Del.icio.us , especially those who move between computers at work and at play . It is a time saving tool with many applications for students and those who just love playing on the computer.
Web2.0 Library2.0 shows that we as people working in libraries need to be prepared to embrace change and big changes are ahead !! Not only in the way Libraries look but how and what they offer their customers. Had a quick look at the website for Brisbane Square Library and Customer Centre.
Now , that's what I call a Library !! A real learning centre for their customers . Would be a very interesting place to work . It's now 5.00pm and that Easter traffic beckons and so does MM.

Rollyo Post No 11

Yahoo !!! I did it!! Quickly decided to do womens' health as a subect for my searchroll, looked at a couple of sites and put them on my roll and then the big one , added the searchroll to my blog . Couldn't quite believe it when it worked !! I need to start having more faith in my own abilities . It's been amazing what information I've picked up and I am very pleased at what I've been achieving. A great learning journey and I have now reached that important halfway mark .
Can see that Rollyo has many applications as a useful tool for teachers , medicos , gardeners and hobbyists etc

Librarything Take 3 Post No 10

Thought that Bronte Girl would really appreciate Librarything , being the well ordered soul that she is. My library at home consists of mainly MM's sport books , a few classics and gardening tomes .They are shelved in a higgledy piggledy manner , aforementioned Bronte Girl would have to rearrange , I'm afraid. I am a borrower more than a buyer . Have just read and enjoyed Toni Jordan's debut novel , "Addition". It explores obsessive behaviour - in this case , counting, and when should medication be taken . Is it a quirky trait or a medical problem? A really good read and Toni will be at Croydon Library on March 13 th at 12.30pm.

Library Thing take 2 post No 9

Quickly revisited Librarything today and decided that these books are what should be on my bookshelves . The cooking gene missed me, but luckily No 2 son , has it , so all is not lost. I am still waiting for him to cook me and MM ( my man) a scrumptious dinner .

Library Thing Take 1 Post No 8

This is me rugged up against a cold mountain morning, pondering favourite authors and titles and trying to work out what else to add to my Library Thing account ( yes , another account with the obligatory password). I think I look a bit psychic so passwords should come to me in a flash .

Image Generators Take 2 Post No 7

No prizes for guessing what day it is.Have had problems today with Image Generators and not sure if it's my fault or not. Can hear "Digger " grumbling so am assuming he too is having difficulties.
Will keep practising though, and then next step forward in the Learning 2.0 tunnel will be Library Thing . So much to learn .
