Thing 16

I visited the SJCPL Subject Guides, in which I created an account and found that it has a public blog (monitored) and a Gameblog for posting about video game tournaments held at the library this summer. The Flickr photo mashups bring the tournaments to life. The RSS feeds didn't work. (Maybe it was me.) The Bull Run Library wiki, maintained by a patron, linked to the Arlington Public Library 2.0 program in wiki format called Camp Tech. It seems to me that wikis are an interesting format for libraries, giving staff and customers an opportunity for collaboration; but the public wikis would most likely need to require registration and be monitored. Single event wikis like the ALA 2006 New Orleans wiki seem like they have great possibilities.

You have one of the best blogs in the program! You certainly are clipping through all of the 'things'. Thanks, too, for labeling your posts so clearly. We're reading through over 250 blogs now and it's nice to have good, easy navigation tips!!!!!!
