Posted directly from ZOHO

Well. I have to write something about something. It should be easy, just I have to find an interesting topic to write about. I am wondering why ZOHO is called this way? Other than that, it seems like a very simply "no questions" tool to use. I would say it is easier to find lots of features on it than when using Microsoft Word.

WiKis -week 7

Searched, read, learned from some WiKis suggested.
Went to our Reference department wiki: https://klrefwiki.pbwiki.com.
It was nice to actually see your coworkers efforts to go along with new technologies and learn something. I discovered not everybody can actually edit this WiKi. You should log in with the password. Nice protection!

WEEK 6 -#15 - Future of Libraries

I looked through 5 perspectives. This is my favorite part of "to more powerful ways to cooperate":
"Collect user intelligence Another key lesson that O’Reilly emphasizes is the notion that “users add value.” For OCLC and its member libraries, this means expanding our definition of “collective intelligence” beyond the library professional to faculty, researchers, library patrons and others by building into our systems services that encourage these users contribute their expertise to the cooperative."
I think cooperative intelligence of people who work for the library and library users is the great idea and definitely one of the Libraries of the Future major trends!

#14 - Technorati favorites

Well, I am speeding up and trying to catch the main meaning mostly. I am aware now that Technorati is only blog related engine and you can search not all the web pages using it.
I tried to search Blog posts, Blog directories and Tags for "Library2.0". I got different results - 550, 130 and 2,104 respectively postings.
Tagging is a great way of combining topics in one category! Even I do not see that it is very different form linking everything by subject/topic/key words. To me tagging is just new way of wording the same action.
I like the Favorites category on Technorate the best. I really enjoyed viewing what movies are the most popular at present time. Very useful and quick way to be updated on this subject!

#13 -DELICIOUS!

Unfortunately not enough time for good research exploration. I did create my own delicious account and got an idea how to tag different websites. I still feel not too confident in doing this - need lots of practice.
I liked the gorgeous SJLibraries delicious account and found many interesting tags there. I put RSS link to my bloglines list for this site, so I can get there quick any time.
I even added to bloglines list my weak delicious account, but I really need to work on organizing it.
