Thing 15: Library 2.0

I read through most of the perspectives, well, I skimmed the last few. Having worked in the technology field for 9 years before coming to the library, I have to say that many of their perspectives are "in an ideal world."

I do believe that the technology is advancing at a faster pace than previously, but to say that there will be a complete revolution in libraries in the next 5-10 years is a bit far-fetched. I understand the need to progress with technology and to cater to all types of users and their needs as technology and society progresses. However, I believe that there will never be a point when books are simply not needed and completely replaced by "technology." When the library will become completely virtual as the library is a meeting place, a place for exploration and a place for interaction.

Thing 14: Technorati

I've been browsing through the site and checking out the different sections (i.e. Top Blogs, Top Favorited Blogs, etc.) I also did a search for Westies to see if there were any other crazy West Highland White Terrier owners. I ran across a few blogs referring to Westies, but no crazy owners. I think I might have to dig a little deeper to find them.

Thing 12: Rollyo

I created a Rollyo Search called "Roadchix." My friend and I travel and post our journeys online: www.roadchix.com. Extensive research goes into this and creating a Rollyo would definitely be helpful in eliminating more of the "salesy" pitches when we're looking for specific state information.

My only complaint is that sometimes a gem is hidden in the rough of the sales.

You can find my Rollyo here.

Thing 9: Useful Library Blog

Technorati helped me to find "The Blogging Librarian" who has quite a bit of interesting information on technology for library personnel.

Thing 3: Setting-Up a Blog

I see that I was supposed to comment on setting-up a blog. Since this is my third blog, I guess I can say "Piece of Cake!"
