Beth Tribe Howard County announces their first Reader's Advisory blog!

Yeah, I know we are a bit behind the times. I know many other counties have been doing something like this for awhile and my hats off to you. Highly Recommended will be going live later this month. We are very jazzed about it here. We look forward to having reviews of books, music, dvds and even our classes/seminars. This is just our first foray into the blogosphere but we hope with the implementation of Koha… Continue

Beth Tribe BookMooch

I have to say I just love my Stumble Upon toolbar. I've never run across so many cool, interesting and different web sites until I installed it.

Today I clicked on Stumble! and was taken to BookMooch. What a great concept! BookMooch lets you give away books you no longer need in exchange for books you really want. BookMooch is a community for exchanging used books. You earn points for each book you receive costs 1 point, 2 points if it was postal mai… Continue

Linda Zuckerman A librarian's search for truth

When I became a librarian, I had no thought that I would be involved in deep philosophy, but I find that I am becoming more interested in "how one knows if something is true." Part of the impetus behind this interest is due to Web 2.0 and all the new sources of information that are available out there. The second is due to my eroding faith in traditional sources of information: newspapers, TV, and radio. (My blogspot blog of

Linda Zuckerman Getting into Wikipedia

I'm very excited about the potential of Web 2.0 in our lives and am becoming more comfortable with user developed content. Recently, I've been reading the book Everything is Miscellaneous: The power of the new digital disorder by David Weinberger. He makes some interesting observations about Wikipedia. I, like many librarians of my acquaintance, have dismissed Wikipedia because of suspect content. Weinberger makes the point that many (most?) of the articles are not written by individuals,… Continue

Beth Tribe How creativity is being strangled by the law

Larry Lessig "the Net's most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the "ASCAP cartel" to build a case for creative freedom. He pins down the key shortcomings of our dusty, pre-digital intellectual property laws, and reveals how bad laws beget bad code. Then, in an homage to cutting-edge artistry, he throws in some of the most hilarious remixes you've ever seen."

Beth Tribe Continuation of Thing # 22

Using one of my favorite Web 2.0 site yet again - Stumble Upon! When I found this site - Free Classic Audio Books thought would be perfect as a continuation of Thing #22 dealing with Overdrive/NetLibrary and downloadable audio books. This site provides 2 formats - mp3 and m4b for iPod (which is great since I love my iPod).

Beth Tribe Another fantastic Web 2.0 music site!

I'm so glad I have added the StumbleUpon tool bar to my Firefox browser. It took me to a site yesterday that has captured my heart and ears. FineTune.com This may not be new to some of you but it was to me.

Here you can listen to featured artists, then create your own playlist (the mix tape has finally grown… Continue

Beth Mitchell Brave New World

I had no idea when I signed up for 23 Things that I would be exploring so many new worlds.

I was the kid who would go to look up one definition in a dictionary and spend an hour reading the page, so you can imagine what a page of links is like for me.

I discovered Ning.com via Merlin, which was the assignment. I'm looking forward to spending more time here, but for now, I think I had better get back to the assignment.

Cheers,
Beth

Beth Tribe Stumbled Upon StumbleUpon

I was preparing for a meeting on Library 2.0/Web 2.0 - reading an article "How CIOs Can Introduce Web 2.0 Technoloiges into the Enterprise" when I literally stumbled upon a cool site.

The article mentioned "make sure you've covered your bases" Harvard Business School uses the acronym SLATES. Search, Linking, Authoring, Tagging, Extensions and Signals. Extensions (applications should include a suggestion and recommendation systems s… Continue

Beth Tribe How we "Thing" in Howard County

I started this list for our 23 Things Liason, Jaye Holly, so our staff might be able to have something tangible when it came to 23 Things (instead of the usual - "Why do I need to know that? That isn't part of my job.") I was pleasantly surprised to see that we had lots of Web 2.0 "things" already in place.

BLOGS - Currently we have 5 active blogs on our Staff Intranet. I'm hoping as 23 Things picks up momentum here at HCL we will s… Continue
