Week 7

Wiki!!!
I love the idea of a wiki for book reviews. As a student I am constantly warned away from the unreliable dangers of wiki information. More than one of my tutors will use the phrase 'avoid wikipedia like the plague'. However for reading pieces that are clearly opinion, its brilliant. Every library should have a wikipedia book review page. Unfortunatly it does take a while for these to gain popularity, the library workers would certainly have to contribute - at least at the beginning to encourage other library users to participate.

Week 6

Well... I have to say (and I am sorry to be a spoil sport) but i found the tasks for 13 and 14 really dull. I think that technorati and del.icio.us are both sites that you would need to spend a bit of time at to find something unique and interesting. Also perhaps I dont 'surf' around enough but I dont have any problems finding what I need/like and more organising I just find creates clutter... Anyway maybe Im just in a bad mood this week and unimpressed, I will probably try to give it another go.
However I did find the information from task 15 really interesting. I loved the 'Away from the icebergs'' article. It is so true about the 'just in case' collection, this also applies to book stores as well as on the spot printing for books is not too far away (i believe that New York library has a print on order book machine - but dont quote me on that). I also thought that the article 'To a temporary place in time...' raised some important points on the communal side of libraries. The community service aspect is often forgotten in discussions on the future of digital technology.
Hmmm... Still thinking... and learning...

#7 - Oops missed one!

Hmmm technologhy hey... well I don't remember learning how to use a mouse I feel like I have known how to all my life. I do remember tapes to CD's and now I dont even touch my CD's anymore since I put them all on iTunes. I did recently write an essay on the future of books in the technology world which was interesting to think about distribuion and where it leaves libraries in the supply of free material. Im constantly amazed that people are so lazy that they will rather sit at home and pay for iTunes downloads when it is so easy to borrow the whole CD for free and put it on your computer. Hmmm so I guess I will just say that I dont want technlogy to make us lazy, so im very pleased that I chose to be active with technology... hence the Learning 2.0!

Wasn't too impressed with the Rollyo idea. Unless you are a person with very specific interests then it is just limiting your field of information too much. So I just had a look around at others' searches. But i did like the 'Quick Quotes' search, i have included one i found above...

I will just add that i also loved the 3D Stereogram generator. I used it to make a birthday card! worth checking out if your good at these (I found it easier off a computer screen)
