The Sandbox

I read several entries from the pages of the sandbox. They gaqve me lots to think about. I also made an entry ny self. It is called "One moment too many in the think tank." Take a look.

Wikis

I found the wikis most exciting. Especially Groove Office. I was presently surprised to see so many libraries using wikis. I looked at Booklover's wiki, ALA's 2007 wiki and of course Groove Office wiki - templates. I book marked Groove Office for further use!

Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us sounds like something you would say after eating a great meal:) However, in reality, it is just another social bookmaking site. some say that you can think of it as peering into another users’ filing cabinet, but with this powerful bookmarking tool each user's filing cabinet helps to build an expansive knowledge network. I have used some of these samples. Quicktime, I use for music and movies. I also have used bookfinder.com to locate very old books for interlibrary loan customers who can't find what they want on MARINA is a social bookmarking manager which allows you to bookmark a web page and add tags to categorize your bookmarks.

Rollyo

I had already created something close to this on my own computer. I used byblos's Rare Book Search Engine to access results from my hand-selected list of sites to fine rare books for interlibrary loan customers. Today ot was via Rollyo. Excellent tool!

Library Thing

Library Thing was pretty cool. I think I might just use this to find some of those OCLC requests that are hard to find. I did catalog my YA staff summer reading list. Nice Tool!
