Follow me as I take a class

It is not often that I get to take a class and I am enjoying it. You can follow along with my blog for the class at: http://hollithelibrarygirl.blogspot.com/. I am learning about Library 2.0 or social networking technologies that I can use in the library to communicate with students and also to help teach students.

Today I created an account on Del.icio.us. I am working on saving bookmarks that will be helpful to both students and colleagues. You can see the bookmarks that I have currently by going to: http://delicious.com/hollithelibrarygirl. You can always suggest bookmarks for me to add. Also I would appreciate any other comments you might have.

I can't believe it has been a year!

I can't believe that it has been a year since my last blog entry. A lot has happened in that year with birth of my daughter, and the changes in the curriculum here at the Springfield campus. I am hoping to continue my blog and keep everyone up to date about what is going on in the library.

I am currently working on a class that is titled "Learning 2.0: The 13 Things." Basically I am learning about web 2.0 technologies and how to incorporate them into the library. My first assignment is to create a blog. Well guess what? I already have a blog that I just haven't used in a long time. So here I am posting to my blog once more.

What I would like to learn from you the student, or faculty is what types of technologies do you think the library should incorporate? Perhaps podcasts, RSS feeds, wikis, etc. Maybe there is something that I haven't thought of. I welcome all suggestions and feedback.
