PLCMC’s Learning 2.0
This has been a wonderful program. It has brought some real insight and change into my thought process about how to approach some problems, opportunities and educational objectives about web/library 2.0. There are and have been some wonderful things hapening out there with these tools and iterations of web software. Learning 2.0 has forced me [...]

Learning 2.0: eAudiobooks
The Netlibrary service was interesting to use. I searched for a couple of things that I’ve been reading and listening to. It didn’t have the Ayn Rand titles in eAudio format, but it did have them in eBook format. Therefore, I went on to look for “The World of O’Henry” and found it in eAudio [...]

In the past I posted [...]

Learning 2.0: Wiki’s
Wikis are great. I’ve started to use them on several collaborative projects that I’m involved with at present. I’m currently working on moving the Tech Notes from PLA over to a wiki format, via MediWiki on the Best Practices for Libraries Wiki. I have created, via pbwiki, one for an Internet Librarian 2006 presentation that [...]

Learning 2.0: Library ~.~
It is interesting in that for the past year or so I have resisted the whole 2.0 jargon, yet I have embrassed it for what it is. To me that is what web/library/learning/etc. 2.0 is about. It is about being here and now and waking up to the world that is developing around us. [...]
