Taking the library into web 2.o

I just got a comment from one of our librarians about using some of these web 2.0 skills we're learning, for the library's good! I'm excited because I'd like to be on the brainstorming end but not on the implimenting end. Marykay, I'll be in touch.

My Space

I just visited 3 library's myspace sites. Denver's was specifically designed for teens including music and YouTube video. I see the advantages of connecting to people where they are and would be interested to talk to those you use myspace if they think libraries are invading their "space". I'm a board member for a small library and my head is just starting to swim with all that is available out there and how libraries can use it to serve the public. I see merit in all these web 2.o things so far but also think libraries should have a game plan and a computer librarian who can really think it all through and present it to the director as to what is needed. And I'm glad I'm not that person!

Remember the Milk

Hey, pretty cool, this Remember the Milk thing. I sent the email now I am waiting patiently to see if it came through and then I will edit it. I don't see how I might use this now but I can see how great it would be for people in an office working on the same project. Also, Jott seems to have a lot of possibilities. Unfortuanately, I am one of the few people left on this earth that does not have a phone, so for me it's just easier to literally jot it down.
