I just finished with Cliff Landis' presentation on library 2.0. Of particular interest to me were the ways that he discussed making OPAC resemble Amazon's cataloging system. I've been thinking about how much more user friendly and user centered their system is for a long while now and wondering about the difficulties of finding some way to integrate some of their ideas into a library's system.
As well as attending Cliff's lecture today, I also managed to post my overview and discussion of SNSs, their definition, history, and the research that has been done on them to the class discussion thread. We'll see what other students think of my questions tomorrow...
I'm currently a second semester Mlis student at Valdosta State University. I have a very limited knowledge of technology and wasn't planning on taking any technology classes during my time at VSU but upon entering the program I quickly came to understand that that would be a very bad idea. So, here I am in my first tech class at VSU. Hopefully this blog will show me progressing from being completely ignorant to pretty well versed on Library 2.0.
