Folksonomies & tagging

Again I reiterate...this is a difficult task for me! The concept is too conceptual...a term I use in our work frequently but it has a different meaning for me in that case. I have created a delicious account and will wait to see if I visit it again anytime soon.


Hey, I have really moved forward this morning. It is at this point that I must thank my personal work colleague Ann who encouraged me to complete the tasks. Thankyou for your assistance Ann. It was made that much easier by your knowledge and experience of these tools. Today I 've managed to complete all the tasks associated with the 6th test drive by-


  • creating a delicious account to start appreciating the value of such a service for me in the workplace, although I do like my favourites still... I work in two principal areas only;

  • have visted technorati and viewed the style of blogspheres out there...much too busy for me;

  • a review of the blogs I am following and added the RSS feeds of ABC twitter, At the Movies and potentially the biggest of all, Google - to my blog list. I am a bit worried that I might end up with too much to read and/or search through but nothing ventured as they say.....
  • A look at http://www.librarything.com/ was particularly interesting for me. It must be the books and the public library connection that encouraged me to realise the wonderful social networking opportunities available to public libraries and book club groups. I prefer this option to a blog in this activity.
  • Finally, adding a Shelfari widget to my blog, listing six of my most favourite reads. This had to be the best part for me and now I can't wait to show off to my friends...have you checked out my blog recently!! Now I might venture in to add some more wonderful features to the design and layout. Thanks slq for guiding me through this online learning program.

  1. I think your Shelfari widget looks great! I hope you have fun sharing and writing reviews and comments about your favourite books.

  2. Thankyou Ann...this part of the whole program appeals to me! It must the spirit of public libraries that is more meaningful to me. I will be sharing this concept with other public library colleagues so that they may incorporate into their activities such as Noosa Library has done.
