explored biblio.com
wanted to compare this site with what I use in Materials Dept like Alibris or allbooks.com or Amazon
liked bargain books (offered 551 and discount books(yielded none)
rss field available at rare books search no Sharan Newman titles
Skinwalkers Screenplay by James Redford by Hillerman, Tony and James Redford for a mere $1000 sort by price is a nice feature
bargain less than $2 had a lot of good choices good cheap Meister Eckhart books
a signed Tony Hillerman for $6
Advanced Search is good
looked over list of participating MD booksellers
perused Book club First Editions
conscience? - Biblio accepts donations of books listed through its BiblioWorks activity in Bolivia
neat site

My sample appears on my blog highlighted in lavender
familiarized myself with the names of the various online free web based productivity tools:Word Processing: Zoho, Writely (Google, Think Free,gOffice (for iPhone) and NumSum
Tried to publish, but
Here's my document from Zoho Writer:
http://writer.zoho.com/index.do?docId=historical-mysteries1
Favorite of Favorites
The sub-genre historical mysteries provides some of my favorite reading. It's hard to pick favorites , but if asked today I'd say that Dead Man's Ransom be my favorite Cadfael; The Devil's Door wins as my favorite Catherine Levendeur Mysteries and The Apothecary Rose for the Own Archer series.
This word processing seemed fine, though I don't see any advantage for me right now over Word except EXCEPT that it could be handy under the right circumstances to have anyone be able to read it and edit the document and it is free when you travel if you're using a public access computer in a library or Internet cafe
also tried GoogleDocs liked a bit better though spreadsheet was less sophisticated than Excel it'd serve in a pinch in situations cited above

Thing 16
pros and cons listed in Wiki's A Beginner's Look - helpful
looked round EditMe demo
partial to DIY wikis because of claim of more control & flexibility
read: Wiki as a research guide;using wikis to create online communities
So you want to build a wiki most helpful article so far esp with its practical points
I use wikipedia but I do confess I read it keeping in mind the issue of editorial control but most of the things I've used it for it seems just fine, hence its popularity (weakness cited in the PLCMC article)
investigated the http://www.library.ohiou.edu/subjects/bizwiki/ research how to do business in another country business etiquette and cultural info included some standard "reputable"references like Culturgrams and Europa- looked pretty useful
OpenWorldCat strikes me as a good idea to put libraries in people's minds as having
content they might want
looked over PLCMC's core competency pages
SJCPJ site: liked pathfinder wiki on gardening - new gardening books and magazines were highlighted and master gardening info from community resources was also available
Library 2.0 in 15 minutes a day: liked feature where you could set up your watch list to look at wiki changes that only you were interested in; liked the sharing resources under Library Instruction resources handouts and tutorials to see if someone else has already something useful for particular subject like plagiarism
Book-Lovers Wiki I liked this site a lot. I'll look into it to see what nonfiction and mystery was posted. I made an rss feed
Liked the books selection by discussion theme under Readers advisory enjoyed Being ethnic becoming American and Many realms of King Arthur programming guide
looked over New Orlesnd wiki used as an event site
checked out what song was number 1 on the day I was born at the Bul Run Library Wiki
looked at a couple of academic site wikis
spent alot of time exploring wikis because I am considering on for Adult Print Cmtee notes & special projects
book discussion groups on a wiki could be fun for library - maybe OSP title?

Thing 15
watched The Machine is Us/ing Us" by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Kansas State University on YouTube
read Tom Storey's Web 2.0 piece. thought came to me that we really don't know where the new Web 2.0 technologies will go: Who could've predicted the Internet (with the exception of probably some savvy sci-fi writers)
"Away from Ice burgs - happy to say CCPL Materials Dept. lead CCPL away from "just in case" print philosophies
Reliance on user education brought to my mind a different problem: How to get library users to use paid databases (sometimes which have superior info over free sources) when public (and I included myself)love a Google search.
"Come to us model" comments about info needs fit, but some customers still want books, dvds bocds as of now
"Into a new world of librarianship" points about library as a trend spotter and controlling Technolust are useful
"To Build Better Bibliographic Services" I suspect cataloging for public libraries will change drastically
read Blyberg, John. (2006). 11 reasons why Library 2.0 exists and matters; his comments about what the library's mission will be to elderly, boomer millennials is important.

Thing 14
a few definitions helpful to me since I had only heard and had a very, very vague idea about what Technorati was, or what web crawlers did:Technorati is "the leading search tool and authority for blogs."Note: If you're on Blogger, your blog is probably being captured by Technorati;web crawler (also known as a Web spider)and from Wikipedia "Web crawlers are mainly used to create a copy of all the visited pages for later processing by a search engine that will index the downloaded pages to provide fast searches"
opted not to "claim" blog
looked over popular features top blogs, searches, videos, movies, news
Top Favorited Blogs seemed heavily geared towards technology,tech gadgets (no surprise here)and making money; Top Searches were less dominated by tech with music and Paris Hilton appearing along with, predictably, the iPhone; Top Blogs once again dominated by tech & stuff, but Dilbert did appear was down in the Top 100
For Learning 2.0: Blog posts 23,979; 542 Blogs about Learning 2.0;blog directory gave"everything in known universe about web.2.0" yielded posts, blogs, videos and photos plus related tags - viewing all yielded 244,703 blog posts about web 2.0
Top searches you go into individual sites like Google or YouTube tube or if you just do a Search you get 25,217 blog posts about learning 2.0 beg with wiki mind map
located 3 blog posts about author Candace Robb; 1 on Sharan Newman
read blogs on cadfael's window
searched "knitting backwards" found detailed tutorial on Missoula's Stitch N bitch
found several instructional videos as well
After coworker & I learned about Technorati, I later received info from her about an apartment complex and the info came from Technorati
Search seemed pretty strong in Technorati & advanced even better. I'll remember Technorati when I can't find something on the conventional search engines.
