Throw those books away!: Final Post
http://weedingfiend.blogspot.com/2008/07/final-post.html
Throw those books away! Sunday, July 13, 2008. Well, I'm done with the 23 things. I can't say I learned a whole lot aside from growing comfortable with RSS feeds, which I had a pathological aversion to in the past. The staff more or less split in my building in their reaction to the 23 things. It more or less came down to those who were already comfortable with technology, and thus were engaged, and those that weren't, who to this day haven't gotten much farther than getting their blog set up. Furthermor...

Throw those books away!: Library 2.0
http://weedingfiend.blogspot.com/2008/06/library-20.html
Throw those books away! Thursday, June 12, 2008. But, change is slow, and I hope our system catches up someday. How to anticipate future needs, how to focus the collection. These are all interesting and though provoking questions that I look forward to answering, (given the opportunity,) in my soon to be illustrious career. One could go on and on about the Library 2.0 concept and what it means to them, but the specific idea that I particularly. Other than Library 2.0, this week we discussed Del.i...I'd h...

Throw those books away!: Wikis
http://weedingfiend.blogspot.com/2008/06/wikis.html
Throw those books away! Wednesday, June 18, 2008. So this week we learned about Wikis. I've often used Wikipedia. As a starting point in researching something I know absolutely nothing about, but I've never really thought of them as a resource for anything else. I see now that I was wrong! The website that I found most interesting was the best practices Wiki. It's interesting to see what these people like and recommend. Which seem to interest me. I suppose the event wikis. Adding something to the PBCLS.

Throw those books away!: SEOmoz's Web 2.0 Awards and Online Productivity.
http://weedingfiend.blogspot.com/2008/07/seomozs-web-20-awards-and-online.html
Throw those books away! Sunday, July 13, 2008. SEOmoz's Web 2.0 Awards and Online Productivity. This week, (even though I'm a few weeks behind,) we learned about online productivity tools like GoogleDocs. And various websites featured on this SEOmoz. Web 20 Awards list. We were told to go to this Zoho. Thing crashed on me a couple times as well. I suppose it will remain a mystery. Didn't learn anything new there, but it was interesting enough. Surely has a copy backed up! So, I searched for it on google.

Throw those books away!: YouTube
http://weedingfiend.blogspot.com/2008/07/youtube.html
Throw those books away! Sunday, July 13, 2008. I'm fairly familiar with YouTube, although I certainly don't use it every day or even every week. I did once watch a documentary from the BBC about that crazy Fred Phelps family and the Westborough Baptist Church completely on YouTube. I'll have to look for more documentaires sometime. But, the video I'm going to share with you today is a favorite of mine, and was a bit of a cult-hit. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Librarian of the Wastes.

Throw those books away!: Overdrive
http://weedingfiend.blogspot.com/2008/07/overdrive.html
Throw those books away! Sunday, July 13, 2008. This is an interesting little feature we have. It's interesting to see the format of their catalog is similar to ours, so naturally I assumed it was a subset of our catalog and one could find this downloadable content in our catalog. But, it was interesting to see it again, (as I'd briefly explored it when it was first introduced,) and to see how the collection has grown. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Throw those books away!: Podcasts
http://weedingfiend.blogspot.com/2008/07/podcasts.html
Throw those books away! Sunday, July 13, 2008. I actually already subscribe to several podcasts, all from NPR. I've yet to find one that seemed worth listening to, as others just seemed to be a Web 2.0 equivalent of talk radio, which I'm not particularly interested in. But, I did enjoy this Podcast Ally website, and will peruse some podcasts that caught my eye when I get home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Librarian of the Wastes.

Throw those books away!: May 2008
http://weedingfiend.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Throw those books away! Thursday, May 29, 2008. So, I still don't like RSS. But, that's ok. Thursday, May 22, 2008. Blog post with Flickr. Originally uploaded by larsonj23things. I've wandered around the library and I've taken a few random photos. I did that because I read that Flickr requires one to have at least five public photos. Saturday, May 17, 2008. I would have said the antithesis of prom would have been to just stay home. I'm too literal for things like that. Thursday, May 15, 2008. My supervis...
