Thing #14, Technorati

Of all the things I've looked at so far, this was the least useful.

I explored Technorati both by doing searches and also by clicking on the tags. But I'm not sure I learned "how tags work with blog posts."

One thing is that I decided to tag my own posts.

Thing #6

Okay, I figured out I was numbering everything wrong. Now I'm on track.

For #6, I'm supposed to look at some library web sites which are using Web 2.0 and blog about anything Web 2.0 that I think would be useful for our library.

Of the four libraries mentioned in the document I'm working from, the one I'm most impressed with is the Ann Arbor District Library.

Ann Arbor District Library has 2 things which I'd love to include on our web site (catalog). 1) Catalog tags. Wouldn't it be totally cool for the public to be able to tag a book or dvd or whatever? That's another way for people to search for items they're interested in and it's a way of involving the public. That got me excited. 2) AADL has a card catalog view of the MARC record. On it there are 3 places where a patron can write their opinion of the book or dvd, etc. So for Bride and Prejudice people wrote that it had good dancing, it's a fun movie, and that it's a great entree into Bollywood films.
