#15 Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

I have read the Five Perspectives from the eOCLC Next Space Newsletter - very interesting.
I found "Away from Icebergs" particularly interesting, it helped me to start putting all the "pieces of the jigsaw" from my e learning together, enabling the picture as a whole to start emerging.
Surfing the web has already made searching for information so much easier for so many people. The next generation web libraries will create a "worlds your oyster" type of learning enviroment. I can see that it's no longer just sites and search engines, but it's now becoming a shared network space. It seems the skies the limit to what you can find out about, which is great for entertainment and social activites.
I can also see the potential benefit of shared network space for education and research, although the information would need to come from reliable, validated resources eg. universities, journals etc., to be of any useful significance.
I can see the need to look ahead to the future generations and to meet their needs. I can also see the need to still provide the Library 1.0 commodity, to work hand in hand with Library 2.0, 3.0 & 4.0, so as to meet the entire needs of the community.

Well I have been into Technorati and found the above on the popular blog, very moving...

There seems to be so many ways to access other blogs, sites and setting up a site to look for the sites you want. It seems so huge - is there anything you can't do????

#13 Tagging

Ahh, that's better, I feel my enthusiam is back again for this e learning after having a go at del.icio.us!! I have signed up to del.icio.us and added some sites. I will be adding more and I can see how useful and time saving this will be....GREAT!
I can also see how this would be very useful on the front counter of the library on searching popular subjects for the borrowers.

#12 Rollyo

I have opened a Rollyo account, but I have hit a bit of a "slow down" patch with this e learning, as I don't find it particularly user friendly! I haven't given up and I am in the process of asking colleagues to gain a better understanding.....
