Web 2.0

Week 6
Step 15

With the way technology and the information resources are going, may we can down size our libraries now that the books have all left?
Articles as "just in case" make the future very interesting.

The “just in case” collection Crazy as this may sound, the time has come for us to look skeptically at the very idea of a library “collection.” Building a comprehensive collection of materials that anticipates the user’s every need (without providing wastefully where no need exists) has always been problematic, but it was an approach that made sense when information was available only in print formats, and was therefore difficult, expensive and slow to distribute. But it no longer makes sense to collect information products as if they were hard to get. They aren’t. In fact, it may no longer make sense to “collect” in the traditional sense at all. In my library, we’ve seen a 55 percent drop in circulation rates over the past twelve years, making it harder and harder to justify the continued buildup of a large “just in case” print collection. As a Web 2.0 reality continues to emerge and develop, our patrons will expect access to everything – digital collections of journals, books, blogs, podcasts, etc. You think they can’t have everything? Think again. This may be our great opportunity

[…] “You are going to do a lot of exploration and reading on the net. You need a way to reference pages and sites. The “web 2.0 way” to do this is with “social tagging”, so open yourself an account on http://del.icio.us - and start tagging pages as recommended in The Several Habits of Wildly Successful del.icio.us Users. By way of example, you can see how my del.icio.us account has grown to over 1,000 resources in about seven months only, and even when I hit 10,000 resources; I am confident I will be able to retrieve any page I want simply by combining my own keywords. For example, the list of my resources tagged both with “Web2.0″ and “Trends” can be accessed witha URL formatted like this: http://del.icio.us/Fidelis1970/Web2.0+Trends (”Fidelis1970″ is the name of my account on del.icio.us). Similarly, I know I can retrieve my own list of sites using drupal with the following URL: http://del.icio.us/Fidelis1970/drupal+Example” […]

Ipods, what's next?

ipods, whats next?
Ipods, technology is changing at an every increasing rate. Once the new product has reached the retail shelves, it has already been super seeded.Apple has released a software update for the iPod nano and fifth generation iPod. IPod owners can even now easily set their own personal maximum volume limit, and parents now have the ability to set a maximum volume limit on their child’s iPod and lock it with a combination code. This will ensure the hearing of future generation of children will not be damaged.How good is that!!!!!
