Delicious

I have created a Delicious account and imported bookmarks from my laptop at home. It is a much easier way of keeping track of all your bookmarks - mine are normally across my safari toolbar, but are not in any order and you have to expand it to see everything.

Huge potential for reference staff - a nice little job for someone to start off then others can add, beats emailing staff about a new website that may be useful. I've recently been looking at to go for our summer holiday, so have added bookmarks for all potential accommodation I've found - makes it easier to then go & compare them all & show the rest of the family. Easy to get rid of them all too once we have finalized our holiday.

Here is a tag cloud from my Delicious:

Library Thing

I've just put 5 books on my new Library thing site. It was interesting seeing who else owned the same titles, especially the nonfiction title. I have been wanting to add library thing to our catalogue for a while now, will need to budget for it - just one more thing on my "To do list"

RSS Feeds

Viewing blog updates or rss feeds on an aggregator makes it much easier to keep up. All the blogs I'm following automatically went into google reader, & I've added a few more. I set up a bloglines account and so far have added OPAL Training ; Courier mail making money ; ABC Breaking news ; Apple. Looking forward to when we can offer RSS feeds of website and catalogue updates to our clients. Between the 2 I like google reader, seems easier to use - a bit more intuitive, but maybe I need to spend a bit more time with bloglines before I decide which one I will stick with.
