# 17 Learning 2.0 SandBox Wiki

Yoohoo Bloggers! Still roaming the Wikis. This post is for SandBox which is an area within a wiki that you can play with. I haven't spent much time here as I don't really wish to add my blog or any other information to this wiki. It's not something I need to use at the moment and am not very interested in.

See you another time Bloggers....

# 16 Wikis and Innovative ways Libraries use them

Good afternoon Bloggers! Wikis World. That's where I have been today. Wikis are websites where anyone can add, remove or edit information. Not all things can be added to all sites. It depends on the subject matter.
So I have checked out some library wikis. I quite liked the BookLovers wiki where you can be apart of a book group via the web and also look at different collections and reccommendations.
But beware....not all information on wikis are from a reliable source. Anyone can put there opinion on a wiki.

I'm out of here until next time....

# 15 Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and Future of Libraries

Good morning Bloggers! It's early in the day and I am here blogging. It's a bit addictive. This morning I have been reading some articles about the future of libraries in relation to new technologies - THE WEB.
We are moving at a fast rate with web use. We see people every day tapping upon a computer creating documents, searching for homes, researching assignment information or looking for recipes. The more tools that become available on the web the more people will use it.
Going to a library is becoming a thing of the past as I can check the web from the comforts of my own home. We will have to make more information more accessible to patrons. Training may take time but it might open things up for something new.
But there will always be patrons who return to the library frequently. It is still a place for socializing and for educating. And I hope this never changes. People still need the social skills of life and this is found in libraries too. Without people contact where would we be??????

Signing off.... See you shortly

# 13 Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati


BLOGGERS! There's a website that can save any document on the internet so you can view it from any computer in the world! This website is called Del.icio.us. This is a social bookmarking site. Could be quite handy for a lot of people. I myself am not too interested. I don't need that kind of access to documents. I've added a link to the website so check it out.

#12 Rollyo

Hellooooo... Bloggers! My next new thing is Rollyo. This is a website where you can put your favourite websites in a search bar. I have listed a few of my favourite websites in the drop down select box under Art Craft Food.
