Readings for week of dec. 1

I think that it is scary that big brother is always watching. These articles show that we have agencies watching agencies. Everything is now monitored and everyone has an electronic identity. Today, we are always on the look out for identity theft and the government is going through personal information. You can find anything about anyone online, just google their name and their address. phone number, age, and anything written about them comes up. Try googling yourself some time and see what comes up. If you can't find what your looking for there, go to youtube. 10/1, it'll be there.

readings for week of 11/24-25

This weeks readings were about using the Internet and Internet services to communicate with others in the profession. "Using as wiki to manage a library" discussed the wiki as a way of sharing information. The author described wiki's as a way to better share information and collaboration and using a wiki efficiently divides the work for group work. This article also give details as to how to create your own wiki. I thought that the information in this one was really good and the directions were easy to follow.

"Creating the academic library folksonomy" was in favor of social tagging was a way to remember bookmarked pages. The problem with bookmarking is that the pages are only remembered on the computer you are working with at the time. In tagging, they are remembered on the Internet site and therefore you can do your work from multiple computers.

The video was interesting but I'll admit that I did not watch the whole thing. Learning how Wikipedia was made gave me a new outlook on Internet databases.

Why was .net and .org created? Why aren't all url's .com?

Week 11 readings

This weeks readings are pretty much the same in content so I'm just going to converge them together. This weeks readings were about the Digital libraries. The articles described the government projects in recent history with grants for funding research online with things like Google. They were able to digitize the collections. I think that digital libraries are important to the future of libraries.The biggest problem that I see with digital libraries is that most libraries and librarians do not have the training or the technology to handle digital libraries.
