Libraries, wikis and venting...

I am only going to do a quick post and just mention a few things I have looked at in Learning 2.0.

Library 2.0...I know it is all about making it easier for the users and keeping up with all the other libraries but if we all band together and stop now then maybe the users will never know what they are missing. ;-)

I love technology and I love libraries but the libraries I love are quiet and structured which brings me to another thing I'm not sure I like...tagging...it is so....I can't find the words...I guess I feel like there might be stuff out there that I could be missing out on because I might tag something differently from someone else. I guess it is different if I am using del.icio.us just for myself but then I have to remember which tag I used the last time I was on a similiar website. What if in the future libraries start letting users tag items instead of using something like LC subject headings then everything will be all over the place, and I can't have that...I must have order!!!!

Another thing I am not sure I like is wiki's, yes they are great for sharing info but what if you do a ton of research on a topic and then someone who thinks they know more than you comes along and deletes it all?!?!?!?!? I would be extemely upset about that I think, plus anyone can put anything on there without having evidence...

If you have read my first post then you know that I am studying to be a librarian. And if you haven't read my first post but you read the first sentence of this post then you also know.

You may also have noticed that I have changed the title of my blog.

I am currently in the middle of completing my last assignment for this semester. I am designing a brochure about best recordkeeping practices in an organisation (riveting stuff I know). Anyway I have been looking at a lot of books and websites for ideas and now that I have found del.icio.us I can bookmark all the sites I have been to so I can go back later and add them to my bibliography. Yaaaayyyyyy!!!! This saves space in my favourites folder and it doesn't matter if I am at home or at work doing my homework during my lunch break I can still login and access them. So I have decided that I really like del.icio.us.
