Thing #15

After reading a few things about Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of libraries, I hope that MCPL can be flexible enough and react quickly enough to technology changes which affect our relationships with customers. Otherwise, we could be left in the dust.

Thing #14

Technorati is a search engine for blogs. "Claiming" a blog let's one assign tags and categories to one's blog to make it more accessible.

Thing #13

I have known about tagging for a long time, but I did check out Del.icio.us and found a list of free online video courses from leading universities which looked interesting.

#12 Rollyo

I liked this especially for online comparison shopping. I did have problems, though. Sometimes I got error messages apparently because the server was overloaded.

Thing #11

I've been a member of Library Thing for a while, but I did add a few more books. I checked out people with similiar tastes; and, based on their lists, I might read The Cellist of Sarajevo.

Thing #10

I fooled around with about 10 online image generators, but none of them really interested me. It's nice to know they exist if I ever need one of them.

Thing #9

I found an article called "The Top Fifty Librarian Blogs" and checked out most of the ones listed. My top two favorites, based on name as opposed to content are:

The Days & Nights of the Lipstick Librarian
The Society for Librarians* Who Say “Motherfucker”

As far as content goes, I vote for these two:

Alternative Teen Services (blog)
Research Buzz (RSS feed)
