Library 2.0

I think having information at your fingertips is a great idea. There is a lack of space in most libraries to store large numbers of books, so being able to find things easily on the computer is wonderful. However there are a lot of people who cannot or will not use the internet. I hope we aren't going to just forget about them. I personally do not like sitting and reading off the computer for any length of time. It is uncomfortable for my neck and eyes. I don't suppose we have an answer for that yet???

Technorati

I found technorati interesting and I did like looking up blogs on Peruvian horses. But the blogs I found weren't strictly on the subject. I think it would be interesting to read more blogs if I had the time.

Del.icio.us

This seems to be a really neat tool. I find it a little daunting, but might use it if I were doing research. I also think that the more you used it the easier it would be.

Net Library & Worldcat

Tried using both sites. Net Library didn't answer my searches with reasonable titles. The first time I used World cat the exact title I was looking for came up.

Library Thing: Actually like this feature. It doesn't seem too complicated and something I might use. Just learning small things like this are useful. However I am not a book discussion person so do not feel the need to air my opinions or hear others' opinions on books I have read.

Too Much Technology at One Time

I have been asked to share some thoughts on technology. I used to really like technology, but things have gotten so complicated and confusing that I shy away from it now. This Web things challenge is too much at one time and although I am getting through it with a lot of help from co-workers I am not retaining much and I am definitely not finding it fun. I think things like blogging should be learned at a less stressful pace and not everything at one time. Just my thoughts.

Thing 9

The RSS feeds was very confusing until a coworker showed me how. After adding 13 feeds I have the method down pat, but still don't feel like I know what I am doing.
