23rd thing Final comments.

Wow got to the last ‘Thing’! As a tech savvy librarian much of it was at least familiar to me, however my favorite discoveries were learning how different sites can interact with each other. Creating an Avatar on Yahoo and using it on Google Blogger was pretty cool. For the past 2 years I have been an avid user of MP3 files. Driving 3 hours per day I have used the internet to find many lectures and audio courses on a number of topics; this has greatly changed how I approach my lifelong learning. I enjoyed the exercise I completed on finding podcasts using a special search tool. The other thing that I found interesting with was the on-line productivity software. Years ago we had software stores so that our computers would ‘do something’ this does not seem to be the case with the modern internet. There are all sorts of on line applications and this trend seems to be continuing. The ability to create your own search tools was interesting to me. This could be quite useful in doing specialized tasks. It was fun to import one of the search tools into the blog in a quick and easy fashion. I would like to participate in another discovery exercise like this in the future. Some of the things I learned may actually get used and those that do not ….well I will at least have a cursory knowledge of some new things on the internet.

Downloadable Audio Books from the library

Downloaded and listened to several audio books from each of these services. They seemed to work fine with my Creative Zen Flash drive player with is 'compatible' with the protected WMA format.

Found the Sandbox and had fun looking at a few blogs from librarians in other systems. Put this blog on the list under Harford Co.

Library 2.0 Key Principals

Key principles
The key principles of Library 2.0 are not just about access to books and information. It is about innovation, about people, and about community building, enabled through the participation that social computing brings. It achieves this through trust and encouraging users to share ideas through writing, rating, and commenting against everything in the library's collection. It even makes the collection open to developers to use, re-use and improve!


Library 2.0 Meme Map by Bonaria BiancuBrowser + Web 2.0 Applications + Connectivity = Full-featured OPAC
Harness the library user in both design and implementation of services
Library users should be able to craft and modify library provided services
Companies wanting to do business with public or academic libraries should not be creating proprietary software; Library 2.0 is not a closed concept.
Constant change is replacing the older model of upgrade cycles
Beta is forever
Harvest and integrate ideas and products from peripheral fields into library service models
Continue to examine and improve services and be willing to replace them at any time with newer and better services.
Rigidity breeds failure
Harness The Long Tail
