#14 technorati

so i searched library 2.0---
I bookmarked the 250+ killer digitized library sites to my facebook page [which is now the only thing on my facebook since I only signed up for FB to keep an eye on my daughter ;-) ]

also "15th century italian garb" - no hits
"italian garb" several hits, some of which I've seen in the past when I'e been googling

ok, what else am I supposed to do, been too busy reading peoples blogs

lib 2.0, 1 thing from this week, #15

so I'm reading this library 2.0 stuff:
1. "allows anyone using Open WorldCat to contribute and share tables of contents, notes and reviews"(Nilges)---so does this mean I can make nasty remarks about the idiots at LC who don't catalogue things very well? sorry, the only example I can come up with right now is that Walt Disney princess storybook thing that came in as a 398.. Now, it didn't have a CIP, so maybe I could blame Brodart for cataloguing it that way, but I checked OCLC and it was catalogued there as 398. (!) Thankfully Bill accepted my request for catalogue change, and Disney is out of folklore and back to fiction where it belongs.

2. as far as all this web stuff and taking it to the people (at home, school, work), yeah, yeah, but people still come in and *I* am still expected to know what every book is about, what reading level it is, etc. I think that people will still rather wander around and look at the books to pick one out, than surf book reviews. (maybe this only applies to kids, I don't know, I don't do reader's advisory with grown ups if I can help it)

"People will collect librarians rather than books—the ability not just to organise, but also to annotate and compare books and other information sources, from a variety of useful perspectives" (Schultz) mmmm, maybe avid readers like ones who already use Novelist, but those 6th grader non-reading boys looking for a 375 historical fiction set during WW2....

rss: wk4 #8

so now I have a Bloglines account. I have 18 feeds. It suggested some (although I really don't know why it thought i needed "cooking for engineers"), and the rest *I* found.
notice the subscribe to my blog button over there.

finding feeds wk4 #9

i looked at the 4 finding feed thingys that are listed on ipage. Feedster is the most aesthetically pleasing. the others all look the same to me.

library elf wk 5#12

so I signed up for library elf.
I like it.
I put me, my hubby, and my youngest. Now I am reminded that she checked some stuff on her own card and we now need to search the house for them so I can bring them back.

library thing wk5 #11

so I signed up at library thing. I would've rather signed up at Goodreads, but the instructions said Library Thing.
I am not pleased with Library Thing. It says "click here to add author" (or whatever) but when you click, there's nothing to tell you how to add an author.
Anyway-- there are my 5 books over there.

avatars (also wk5#10)

Here I am. This looks just like me ;-). I already had this avatar on yahoo.

image generators wk5 #10
