Thing 16

Wikis. I don't know about them. I tend to not trust people and so I wouldn't want just anyone to post on my wiki. However, I have searched Wikipedia and found it somewhat useful. So I might visit a wiki but not make one of my own.

Thing 15

Library 2.0. Interesting concept. I thought it was interesting what Rick Anderson noted how his system's circ has gone down over 50% in over a decade. He suggested that we stop planning for what our patrons need in print form because of all the digital options these days. But can you imagine not having shelves of books for patrons to read? I can't. At least not yet.

Thing 14

All right. I'm going to see if I can tag this post using the HTML code and the tag "L2LCPL."



All right! I think it worked. Now I am going to try the tag, "writing."



Woo-yoo! I think it worked!

Thing 13

I don't know about this tag thing. It sounds cool in a way. But you are dependent on people correctly tagging their sites, pages, etc. Like I could make a tag of "writing" and someone else could make a tag of "writer" and even though they are similar tags, we may never share similiar sites. At least that seems like a real hazard to me.

It could be handy though for those who want to share a multiple list of websites. Not sure if I would. I use the Web but not so extensively that I need a whole webpage to store and sort them. (At least not yet!) ;)

I can see where this could come in handy for many in this library system. I don't think of anything I could use it for right now but there may be a time in the future I may need it. I will keep this in mind!

Thing 11a

Yeah! I finally got Library Thing to work! It's listed at the right side of the screen of this blog.

Phew! That took some work!

Thing 11

This is rather cool! It might come in handy for someone who wants to keep track of what they have read. Over the years, one could forget and a tool such as this would really help!

However, whenever I go to copy the HTML code into my blog, Blogger won't accept the code. :( I'll keep trying.

Here's a link: http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=chloudoun. Not as fancy as the widget would be, though.
