Thing #7 - Social Bookmarking - Delicious

Social bookmarking can be a useful tool for the library. It is a great way of sharing bookmarks. However I can see this as becoming more confusing as you add more tags to bookmarks. It can be useful but maybe a standardization of tags would be helpful.

Thing #6




I have been using Firefox for some time now. Add-ons are seamlessly incorporated into the brower. I have the Google toolbar installed and also have other add-ons, for exmaple Kwout. You can use Kwout to capture a screenshot, highlight areas of interest in the screenshot, and post or save them.

Percusón

This is an energetic, fun guitar duet. It is by Gerardo Tamez, great composer. I had a chance to play this a few times. Great fun...

Thing #4 (out of order) - Flicker









Sorry for this being out of order... Flicker is a great tool for saving photos and more... The Library of Congress Flicker site is a great example of how the site can be used. It is a great way of conveying library information.

Thing # 5 -Jing


Jing Video



JIng can be used to share videos for instruction or information. I found this exercise to be a little frustrating. Blogger doesn't allow you to upload this file - which Jing allows you to save a file to you hard drive, maybe the file format is not supported?

This is an interesting short about requests for photos from the Getty's Archive
