I learnt about wikis. I looked at websites created by universities and others, designed to help readers access information about a particular topic. I like it how anyone can add information, to create a collaborative resource.
Wikis could be used by borrowers to write book reviews or synopses, and discuss individual books or series.

#15 On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0 ...
I learnt about Web 2.0 and Learning 2.0.
The new technologies facilitate new ways of learning and interacting. The use of this new technology gives the user more control over their environment. Linkages are created between people that may not have been created otherwise.

In reference to Away from Iceberg and Into a new world of librarianship
There is a lot to be said for aiming to make libraries of the future freely accessible to users. I think it is admirable that librarians are trying to make everything accessible online, promote user-paced online learning, and direct the learning materials to the client via the Internet. This also means that many clients will be able to use the one resource all at the one time.#14 Getting not-so-technical with Technorati
I learnt about Technorati. A useful information gathering tool. I like how one can search for anything in any blog.
Searches brought up targeted results. Popular searches brought up relevant results. I liked how the graph showed how many mentions there had been in the past month.
I think this may help some clients to find information on a specific topic.
I have tagged the post. I have also claimed my blog.

#13 Tagging, folksonomies & social bookmarking in Del.icio.us
I learnt about del.icio.us. I think it would be useful for those with wide ranging interests, or alternatively, a very specific focus.
I like how it manages favourite websites – bringing order to chaos!
I like how it categorizes websites, is accessible from any computer, and can increase ones knowledge in a particular area.#12 Roll your own search engine with Rollyo
I learnt how to create a Searchroll using Rollyo. I like Rollyo because one can search for a specific thing in targeted sites. It would be useful for someone wanting to search for something in a specific type of website or websites. For example only those dealing with the subject of vision impairment.

#11 All about LibraryThing
I like how LibraryThing connects you with others with similar reading interests, see all sorts of information about a book, gives you ideas for future reading,
It could help borrowers to form relationships with other like-minded readers, or give them ideas for future reading.

#10 Play around with Image Generators
These are great because one can use their creativity to create new things.
I like this one because it creates patters out of textual material which are pattern-like in themselves.
