Exercise # 11

What is Wiki?
it is a allows a group of people to collaboratively develop a Web site with other markup languages. anyone can add or edit pages in a Wiki or create new Wiki pages simply by creating a new link with the name of the page. Sounds the same with setting-up 'blogger' and sharing information about the profession?

book lovers Wiki-it is look like a 'book club' or 'book review' free to review or talk reading experience , sharing comments and getting users to post about their favorite books, become more actively involved in the library's online presence!

For library with a Wiki-

The Library Instruction Wiki was designed to help librarians learn from one another.feel free to create collaborative spaces to brainstorm or develop a project, conference presentation. it belongs to the community of librarian.

i have feeling 'Wiki' is like an alive library everyday can see new topics, categories and a lot of someones experiences. is it exciting?

Exercise # 10

i have read some articles about Library2.0. from my understanding Library2.0 is a new way of providing library service through new Internet technologies with emphasis on 'user-centered' changes and interaction. inviting user participation and involved in the process of interacting with the catalog and sharing content, such as OPAC in our libraries. These new types of catalogs are a shift from "isolated information silos" to "interlinked computing platforms'. With new web tools information can be released to flow in every direction (library to user, user to library, library to library, and user to user, it is different with past which the information flow was mostly one way, from library to user.
Library 2.0 is not about searching, but finding; not about access, but sharing. Library 2.0 recognizes that human beings do not seek and utilize information as individuals, but as communities.
Do i have a right concept.

Exercise # 8

have you seen the photo? it is from my exercise #8 'explore del.icio.us ' tags-library http://www.delicious-monster.com/.
maybe it was a coincidence i clicked 'people' typed my name, i got a few websites have written by Chinese characters. but bookmarks does not need to add user's name to get more websites,
do you think 'bookmarks' or 'tags' is similar function with our libraries searching by 'title' or 'keyword' . they will bring all of information but display from a different title. hopefully i am doing a right exercise.
before i started my exercise i clicked 'help' it answered a lot of my questions. clear my doubts.
it is a really 'DELICIOUS' !! i am quite enjoying .

Exercise # 7.2
