One more thing

If I had to pick, I'm most impressed with the Search Roll technology of the new things tried. There's something to be said for formal exploration, so I'm subscribing by email to Learning 2.1 and seeing how well I keep up. Watch this space for more...

podcasting

My own first effort at recording a potential podcast is still in in production, but in navigating Podcasting.net to my RSS feeds, I found one like what I'd wish to do. Have a peak at Don't Panic: Information Resources For When Your Deadline Looms! from the Library Channel, one of the more relevant of 259 entries under "reference" I'd found there back on the 9th.

Web 2.0 winners

Under the topic "Philanthropy" (not to be confused with "Philosophy," natch), Donorschoose looks like the way philanthropy should be done. Proposals and progress toward goals are shown together, with a option to throw some money toward a specific project built right in. I’m staggered that this was the #2 choice of the winners in its category.

Google progress

I rather like the webbased Google products- here's a doc I made to summarize my Learning 2.0 progress to date.

Fast look at a wiki

I've been to the alternative PBWiki site and added a book review- something not featured below yet. But for those interested, Stax the library cat's favorite wiki for local course-related library instruction is here

2.0 anyone?

Tim Berners-Lee has a quote I'd like to see applied to libraries, too: "Let's use the Web to help people understand each other.” We made the jump from clay tablets to scrolls to codexes to the ubiquitous bound book; we'll make this one as well. Transmission mediums change, but content is the goal.

Baggage claim

Odd to find myself first when searching for "oulibraries" tag here today. But I've got my blog luggage claimed, and having these entries tagged made it easier. It's been several days since I'd checked previously, and I'd not show up when finding 3966, 16, and 491 hits respectively under the "Learning 2.0" tag for All Blogs, Tag search, and Blog directory searches. No surprizes among Technorati top searches, nor over duplication between the top "favorited" and top blog columns-- Boing Boing would appear to be the pick of the lot.

Tastes ok

The usual websites from my roll below I've tagged in del.cio.us, and found that of scads of other philosophy items bookmarked, the metaphysics entry from our Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Didn't know we could bookmark our paid resources. I've added it as well to mine at http://del.icio.us/refhobbit
