Favorite Movie

Well, that was fun and easy to do. I added a comment to the favorite movies wiki.

Wiki

The Stevens County wiki was developed by the library, but I did not see a direct link to their website. SJCPL looks like it is easy to use and informative. The other wikis were informative. As far as SPL, it would be great to have current events within and outside of the library displayed. Staff input on books would be nice for display ideas and favorites. It will be nice to see what SPLASH could do for our Intranet.

Library 2.0

I found the article "To a Temporary Place in Time..." to be very informative about where libraries have been to where they need to go and expand. The comment I found most amusing was "Collecting librarians instead of books". I was stunned at the SecondLife statistic of time spent in this virtual world. If that isn't an indication of why stats are down, I don't know what is. For SPL, I think we need to start forming a virtual staff through book recommendations and websites we find useful. We all have different learning and reading goals.

Technorati

Technorati just wasn't appealing to me. I tried the lifehacker site and it wasn't what I thought it would be. Between delicious and this search tool, I will gladly choose delicious.

Delicious Feed

The tutorial was very hard to play on my computer, so I had use a coworker's. That was really hard to try and try again. My experience with del.icio.us was very fun. I think I said something about Shakespeare in an earlier posting. With delicious, I was able to find an online free reader of all his plays and with Shakespeare on Google, it divided the plays into comedy, tragedy,etc. This was an easy tool to use, but posting to my blog was a little tedious. I tried to add the RSS to my bloglines account, but then I didn't know how to update the listing on my blog. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Well, it looks like I conquered another one. I seem to forget the last step which is check the box to make it public. These were some addresses from materials received at WALE conference. I hope you find some that are useful.
