Cat, a photo by ►CubaGallery on Flickr.

I found this really lovely picture on flickr and i loved the colours and light in this image, and of course the kitty is cute too.

I also took an image some of the shelves in the Learning Centre and uploaded it to my flickr account.

Good Reads.

I had a look at Good Reads and uploaded a few books to my shelf, mainly because the Library Thing's webpage wouldn't load but I did sign up to Library Thing and also had a look at what it had to offer aswell. Both websites are similar and have the same features, but I have had trouble trying to locate the same editions of my books on Good Reads. Most were easier to find on Library Thing because of the extra 700 libraries you can search through. Although when I played around more Good Reads had a link to more book editions once you clicked on the title. It was also easier to 'Switch to this edition' with that link under other editions of the book you already had added.


I have enjoyed using both websites and believe that they are very useful websites.

Library 2.0.

Library 2.0 is a new theory on library services, I just read the two articles below and I believe that Library 2.0 is already playing its part in libraries today, many libraries use online social networking sites to promote and keep patrons informed on the library. I think that making more resources avaliable online and making some material downloadable from home would be a positive thing as well, eliminating waiting for a book to be returned by another client. It also has its downfalls which would decrease people coming into the library and possibly finding more information and different resources within the library.


I believe that the concept that I understand Library 2.0 to be isn't that different from what libraries currently provide for its clients. I think that social networking resources are helping to promote the library and what it has to offer and sharing ideas with other libraries and people in the community.

Podcast.

Podcasts are a good way to listen to a variety of audio files without having to physically download them to your computer (but you can do if the website allows it.) I found a podcast which included three people talking about the semi new documentary on The Doors called When You're Strange.


The three discuss and review the documentary, how it is different from others and its initial response when it was first released and why it was 're-vamped'.

Delicious bookmarking.

I think the Delicious website is a very useful online tool. I can see how this can help others find reliable infromation or even a different way of presenting a particular topic.

I like the idea that you can save all of your bookmarks externally from your personal computer. This is very useful so if you want to share a website with someone else when you don't have access to your own computer this is a good way to make sure you don't have those limitations.

It is also a good way to 'back up' your bookmarks, keeping them online so if you upgrade your computer system or your harddrive is wiped you still have access to your bookmarks.
