This is a writing sample I created on Zoho Writer and posted to my blog. I tried to do the automatic blog posting thingy, but it didn’t work, not sure why. I was happy to see that I didn’t have to create an account just to try out this service. If you click on the [...]
Posted in Learning 2.0, Wikis on August 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I can see the value of using a wiki with restricted access to do collaborative projects to share resources, plan an event, or create a document by committee. I particularly liked the Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki which I thought was a stroke of genius. I know that I will be reading–and possibly–contributing to [...]

Snagged from the blog of the Librarian Avenger. Don’t know where she got it from, but I like it.
What Library 2.0 means to me is new tools to accomplish the old work of the library. I’ve knocked around in the profession long enough to know that while the technology we use changes, the main [...]

I also opted to skip registering my blog with Technorati. I double-checked the WordPress FAQ and, as I suspected, it would have been a duplication of effort. Every [...]

I’m doing an panel presentation on fusion dance at this year’s upcoming Oral History Association conference and I’m experimenting with Del.icio.us as a way to share videos that I have found on YouTube and other sites with my fellow panelists. I’ve discovered, however, in order to share, it’s [...]
Posted in Exercise in Frustration, Learning 2.0, Rollyo, User-unfriendly on August 4, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Rollyo sucks. On the surface, it appears to be a good tool, a mini search engine like the kind many libraries use where you can limit your search to certain databases only. In Rollyo’s case, you limit your search to particular websites. Unfortunately, the site is very confusing. Rollyo appears to let new users create [...]

My colleague, Peg, is a bad influence enabler constant source of inspiration to me. Peg has gotten into digital photography and kindly lent me one of her digital cameras when she when she went off on vacation. Before leaving, she pointed out that the camera only had memory for 647 photos. Did I think that [...]
