Well, the Library Thing is now a part of my life.
It does have some limits for the purposes of research.
For research purposes the "style" would need to be reworked to comply with professional standards.
But, it also has some advantages, that allows the researcher to access a list of materials that they are looking for without having to carry documents.
Very convenient>
6 books have been entered in my Library Thing. Some titles were not accessible through Amazon, but finding access to the Library of Congress got around that problem. Searching the library of Congress also allows the researcher to find movies and other musical recordings to add to the list.

#13 - Technorati and the search for your blog
Well, this task has been completed, but I am not sure how helpful it is to me.
Not sure why the blog needs to be claimed when it is already registered with blogger.com.
Oh well, searching "Learning 2.o" produces a wider range of materials from around the country. One site from Maryland seems to be interesting.
However, searching kcls27things is obviously more specific to what is happening with our project. The Flickr pictures, err images, were interesting too.

#12 - Tagging is Del.icio.us
Greetings:
I have really enjoyed the introduction to Del.icio.us, as well as the way I can organize my tagging.
Regularly, my interests in Northwest History, some philosophy such as Revolt of the Masses by Ortega y Gasset, and studies about Thomas Merton will allow me to keep better organized. In addition, the connections through Del.icio.us will make it easier to find new materials without having to unwanted topics on the internet.
My process of discover has just begun, but watching this sight grow can be very productive for me.
I have registered with Del.icio.us as basilholme, and I am on my way.
The use of such tools in the library setting will be more helpful for the casual patron, who wants to organize some short term research through the library.
The drawback for the patron is their limit to only 1 hour a day. We need to find a way to provide more computer access for longer periods of time. Nonetheless, it will also be a great advantage for the average person who cannot aford the latest computer technology and quick access to the internet.
For the serious researcher, internet sites such as Del.icio.us has certain limits interms of research protection. In addition, libraries should avoid looking to this tool as a replacement for the LC Subj Headings as well as other professional tools necessary for many of our patrons. Having both tools will allow libraries to provide the patrons with different levels of reference access depending upon their needs for either popular research of a more serious academic research.
This tool will help people do research and maintain an list of bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere. It can also be a great equalized in the realm of knowledge and information for the common person.
