Del.icio.us, Technorati, Tagging,Library 2.0

I used Del.icio.us PLCMCL2 and went to What the Director is reading. I found this might be helpful for reader's advisory but am not sure of how to use it myself. Technorati was also looked at. I looked at several of the top blogs and favoirte searches. It definitely seemed more like a social thing then anything of great value to me. Library 2.0- After reading articles on icebergs , I think it would be interesting to meet with librarians in the system and discuss the changes in the future or as I get more comfortable with the blogging and chatting to discuss it on line. Being in a branch that likes printed material, I'm wondering how this online will go over. I do agree that if you have to train than the system is too difficult to use.

Librarything.com

Today I started to catalogue books that I am currently reading. I'm adding notes and am planning to use this for reader's advisory. I think that this tool will prove most helpful to me . I'm hoping I'll update it with books I read or find for customers who like a certain genre. If someone asks for a good mystery , etc I'll be able to pull up this list to help. I have not explored how to include other's opinions from this tool. My goal is to look at this step in the future.

Play Week--image generator and Rollyo

I have played around a bit with online image generator. I have looked at the Library Thing and at Rollyo. I attempted to make a search tool and did but it did not save. I will need to start over when I have more time to play. Attaching what I do to this blog is another challenge for me for another day.
