Week 6: Tagging, Folksonomies, etc. Thing 13,14,15

# 13 I did the keyword search for "Learning 2.0" in Blog posts, tags, Blog Directory.
The results are different. In Blog posts the results were someone's comments about
tagging, someone talking about their experience "Speaking & Driving" to a conference and
2 cents worth information site.

Del.icio.us - I enjoyed the hotlist and Tips for Life section.

#14 Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati information is interesting.
I thought the information about the top favorite blogs, 15 top searches
and 100 top blogs was interesting. Top searches were Youtube, Ron Paul and Noelia.

I also viewed Engadget (tag) and read an article I phone 1.02 updates.
One of the top favorites blog is "Make money online" - Problogger.

#15 I read a perspective on Web 2.0 "To more powerful ways to Cooperate."
Libraries will continue to improve and expand with new technology for
years to come.

The future of technology will continue to grow with the use of Web 2.0 for OCLC with
intergrating collections of various libraries and services to consumer web space. In
the Spring of next year OCLC will release a search box allowing anyone with a web browser
to search Worldcat and allow non-cataloging library professionals, patrons and others to
contribute to and use Worldcat. Services in the future will include tagging, personal
cataloging, creating and sharing list, citation management and open URL resolver
information available to anyone. Web 2.0 is here to stay!

Participation in the 23 things is preparing librarians for the future of technology changes
that will occur by using Web 2.0 and viewing all the websites that are available in
Web on-line technology world.

Perpective #2: I read "Into a New World of Librarianship."
This article is not a new idea or concept. Librarians will always help users find information
by using print, non-print, internet and other resources.

In the past and the future, librarians will continue to plan services, collections, outreach,
and technology to meet the needs of the customers and the community.
