Doing the LibraryThing

And there's still more exciting stuff to come. My problem now is not that I can't find the time to do Web 2.0 but that I don't want to do anything else. The possibilities are becoming clearer to me and I want to spend more and more time doing them. del.ici.us is a great tool for storing all those easily forgotten or unorganised websites we all collect. The problem of course will be people tagging dross as well as gold and this where the library comes in I guess. It will be good for specialists e.g. children's librarians to share their findings this way instead of my email. Then you can just need to search when you need to and can add those websites as they appear in your emails. I like Sutherland Libraries list and cloud and look forward to exploring the idea further at my next session. I came across The LibraryThing when assessing Amblib library websites and now see how easy it would be for my library to add it to the new library catalogue for others to create their own library catalogues.
