Week 6

I can see that Del.icio.us has potential to assist in research. Technorati organizes the blogosphere. I hadn't heard the term "World Live Web" before I read the article. I saw that Jennifer Garner (4) and Jennifer Aniston (9) are the top searches. Hey, what about Matthew McConaughey? "Boing Boing" is the #1 blog.
Libraries have changed at an amazing rate. When I began my career, I relied on my typewriter and technology consisted of film and filmstrip projectors. I know we have to continue to change in order to reach our techno savvy population, but, for me, it's scary to worry about keeping up with all of the advances. The article on icebergs is interesting. I do hold onto a "just in case"collection.

Week 5

Created an avatar (really). She's wearing an Hawaiian sundress with a background of cascading water. Saved it to my pictures, but then my computer said I needed to download a new program in order to view it. I'm wary of downloading any more programs--I don't want my computer to crash. Added 4 books to Library Thing--some of my more intellectual readings that I've done in book club--not my escapist romantic fluff. Created a travel search roll. Maybe someday ....

Week 4

I didn't have any idea what RSS was until my exploration tonight. I subscribed to USA Today.combooks; rottentomatoes:movies, and unshelved. My technology skills are stretching, but I feel a bit uncertain about what I'm doing (plus it seems to take me forever to get something accomplished).
