Thing 2. What is Library 2.0?

Yikes. I gotta say, time is definitely an issue. I'm falling behind.

I heard Stephen Abrams speak on Library 2.0 a few months ago. And while it was exciting and futuristic and some of it I thought was right on, I disagreed with some of what he said. I don't think it's going to be quite as all-encompassing as predicted.

While technology and the web are developing at lightning speed, people are rarely quick to change. Services and resources have to be geared to the people.

I work in a corporate library in a conservative company. Like a lot of companies, we serve different generations, and those who have been around a while are used to doing things a certain way. We have to be mindful of that - of our customers.

But we're starting to use Sharepoint, and hope to set up a Wiki to share knowledge internally. Not sure what else we'll pull into the workplace, although I do have some fun ideas for personal blogs and so I'm appreciative of the learning I'll do through this project.

Thing 1. Set Up Your Blog

OK - that's done. As you can see from my avatar, I am focusing on the play part of this. Was not difficult but geez I'm having trouble with all the links everywhere going back and forth to lists and blogs and surveys etc. I use ie at work and firefox at home. Firefox definitely has an advantage with applications like this.

Just discovered the spellcheck button. Nice feature. Looking for a way to change the font color but see none.
