item 15.

Into a new world of librarianship: Glad to hear that techno-worship is not the reason for libraries to go technological. Trendspotter seems to a way which could perhaps lower operating expenses by not purchasing excessive books. Our "Just in case" collection has been gathering dust for some time now. If we are going techno, and the University of Nevada, Reno has experienced a 55 % drop in circulation, why are we worried? Can we get to par in the near future with what others are doing? I for one, will probably be retired before I could catch on to the new methods, but for the newer staff members, these should be a treat tool. If we could teach the patrons with minimum effort that would be great, but if we do need to train the patrons in detail then further training for us is needed

Amending Library Thing

This is my library thing catalog. I did want you to think I was fudging, but I was not.

Technorati

Very Interesting. Found 19966 results from a general search. Used quotes then it narrowed the search to 2303 results. Discovered "Happy Little Trees" which is about Bob Ross, a deceased painter who loved happy little trees. Then searched learning 2.0 and discovered a result from a German student. E-Learning 2 null in the blog directory. Learned about the blog posts as well.

Tagging

I have discovered how tagging and delicious function. Could be a useful tool when a patron is looking for a particular website. Found "What Do We Read Next" on this exercise.

Rollo

Just posted Rollo. Added 1 search engine for three sites. This is for model railroading. Used help from Mel. Plan on using rollo at home as well.

Library thing

Now, here is something I can use and it was much more friendly than the other items. Plan on using this site frequently.

Item 10

Actually I had completed item 10 before 8 and 9. Posted the picture on the breakroom door of our facility.
