Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

"No matter which side of the debate proponents fall, both sides agree that libraries of tomorrow, even five or ten years from now, will look substantially different from libraries today."

For some reason, this sentence caught my eye. And I totally agree with it. JPL offers a lot of library services that are technology based: the downloads, movies and audios; coming from a third world country, i consider the wireless service very technology oriented; JPL now accepts credit cards for fines; almost everything can be done electronically; from getting library cards, to reserving materials and renewing them.

Definitely, libraries of tomorrow will be different from libraries of today.

Technorati

Two interesting things i saw on Technorati:

1. The number one most research topic is NEWS; second, the California earthquake that happened today; third is:.....viagra. I'm not kidding.

2. This post really interests me: http://www.problogger.net/subscribe-to-problogger/

DEL.ICIO.US

Very interesting.

Del.icio.us (pronounced "delicious") is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. The site was founded by Joshua Schachter in late 2003 and acquired by Yahoo! in 2005. It has more than three million users and 100 million bookmarked URLs.[1]

JaxCat Seach Gadget

Finally added the JaxCat Search Gadget to my blog. Whew!
This is very useful. I'm going to add this to my personal blog. That way, i don't have to log in to JPL website to find books.

Library Thing

here's my link to http://www.librarything.com/:

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/gloriab

this is a very good website. A co-worker pointed this page to me. And we were both cracking up:
http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=37594. It talks about things found in the library.

Magnigraph

I used www.magnigraph.com for this blog.

Looking for newsfeeds

It's not that hard looking for newsfeeds. The most easy thing for me to do, is KNOW what kind of news i want. I am so interested in Philippine news. So, i go to an online Phil. newspaper and and subscribe to their feed.

I love to look at the weather and track hurricanes as they develop, so i go to a weather site and subscribe to their feed it's that easy. Well, for me it is! It's just a matter of knowing what you want.

Rss Feeds

We're learning about Rss Feeds this week. This is really exciting. No more going to different websites. Here is my html from blogline.

This is a dog park, anyway.
