Today I learned search engines from internet. It is a fast way to get search results. Compare the resutlts from Rollyo and Google, I like Google better. I don't know why, but I like the display from Google. Maybe I use Google everyday, I get use to see its format. I created two search engines from Google. These are links:

Learning Wikis
This is the first time for me to know about Wikis. After I read some postings from websites, I am getting to know a Wiki is a website that lets multiple users add, remove and edit content. I like Meredith Farkas’s slide presentation and her article. I got some ideas from her:
1. a wiki allows a group of people to collaboratively develop a website.
2. do not need to have the knowledge of HTML or other markup languages.
3. anyone can add to edit content
4. flexible and extensible
But it has some disadvantage:
1. disorganized
2. too open
3. hard to control
4. may easy get vandalism and spam
The ideas I got from wiki is that our library can use it as a tool:
To create online communities between library and patron
To create an internal on line newspaper
To post information /announcement
To post handouts, tutorials, discussions suggestion and more
To take memos and conference for management
I really like our library to create online newspaper with wiki. It will be faster and easier for our staff to post news from each branch.

I've got a LibraryThing
By learning 27 things 2.0, I created an account for LibraryThing today. It is a great tool that I can catalog of my personal book collection on line. I like it has some good features and functions that provide every information about the book including image. It is really easy and simple to add books to my library and connect to other users who are reading the same book. It is so interesting.

About Del.icio.us
Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site that lets you save bookmarks to a central location. I really like this tool. Usually I only can access my bookmark from "favorites" on my computer at home. After I created my account for Del.icio.us, and bookmarked my favorite websites, I am able to access my favorite website from my working place and anywhere I can use internet. It's so handy. It's so cool.
I think if our libraries use this tool to bookmark some good reference websites in Del.icio.us, that will be fast and easy to assist patrons better. It's really helpful for reference resources.
