Web Based Applications

I could really see the value of these - I played with both Zoho writer, had a look at the chat and meeting and wiki options of Zoho. I think the Wikis option looked good and I liked the fact it means that dread of remembering to drag your USB bar around is a thing of the past. I think the ease of use of some of these web based applications are also appealing as we still see in the Library a great diversity in skill level in what some of our clients can and can't do. I actually think these would be handy in actually showing some clients the ease of using new technology. I was impressed!

The wild world of WIKI'S

I think wikis would be great in the library setting - I really liked the electronic resources wikis that had an alphabetical resource list that had a brief explanation of resources and contained links to further wikis and other information sources. In terms of having an interactive resource that all library clients could access it has great potential. It may be that library patrons can help create the library of the future, meaning the library is a place of currency and relevance.

Library and web 2.0

While I have no doubt that Library 2.0 and the latest web technology is the way of the future, I think there is going to be a yawning chasm between the people who embrace new web technologies and the people who have limited computer skills. Even though some of the new technology is very simple to use, any technology more difficult than "click" and "drag" is beyond some people.

Technorati

This is an experiment to see if I can add a tag to the Technorati site - you could spend days in here just looking!
