Thing #13 Del.icio.us and tagging

This social bookmarking tool is easy to use and is a good resource of sites that are tagged by subject or similar connection. I use it as well.

Thing #12 Netlibrary and Worldcat

Netlibrary and Worldcat are two excellent sources to use. Netlibrary is another OCL collection to look into if one is comfortable reading a book on a computer screen. I've used it when looking for non-fiction sources for my classes. It carries some computer titles that are noteworthy.

Worldcat of course I used when filling ILL forms for patrons at reference. It is clear and easy to navigate. You can get specifics about a book OCL does not own, but that for instance, a college library or other library system in NJ owns. I highly recommend both.

Thing #11 Library thing

Library thing is a useful site for cataloging your personal library and for connecting with others who have similar reading tastes. I am also thinking of it to find a specific book one would like to own that someone else has, but is not available for purchase. The only peeve was setting up another user name and password.

Thing #10 Technology blogging

Technology is amazing and thank God for our current age of technology. The list can be endless as to what we can no longer live without such as the cell phone, laptop, mp3 player, head phones etc... I must admit that I discovered not having my cell phone while traveling can be handicapping. Public phones are scarce or non-existent in most places now. So, the cell phone is a necessity for me. I am particular with the Nokia name brand. The latest on this brand was featured on a blog. Check it out http://www.hiptechblog.com/2007/08/29/nokia-n81-music-junkies-will-love-this-phone/.

Thing # 8 RSS Feeds and newsreaders

RSS feeds facilitate one webpage access to interested news, websites and blogs. This tool is useful for quick access . It is another feature for web information to be aware of.
