Part 1.
I have to confess that I set up a Delicous account at the State Library class, was enthused and used it for a while, and then let it slide. I still think it's a great tool and one that has real possibilies for CCPL. Think of areas of specializes interest or seaching, such as Business or Geneaolgy, and then think of being able to tape the brains of staff who do this type of reference all of the time. Wouldn't that be great? Have worries about your computer crashing and loosing all of your Favorites? It can happen...
So, guess I need to go back and start using mine in order to sound convincing, right?
Part 2
Well, I went to Technorati to see if I could claim my other blog, Stafflines. I did and added a button to a post there. Of course it's the only thing that I've done on that one in over a month. Once agian, I have to find my way back to this sort of activity as a regular part of my work.
Did a very general search for public libraries on Technorati. I love the clean appearance of the page, the way the search terms are highlighted, the way it pull videos into the search with photos, the tabs at the top to break it into categories. Much more interesting than a google search and a much different set of results! Of course it's not the same search, but it is so easy to forget that there is such a difference and how important it is to be focused.
