23 Things-Thing 16-Wikis

Looked at Library Success, Library 2.0, and Book Lovers Wikis.
I think the Princeton Book Lovers wiki is great! What a great way to foster customer and staff collaboration. I can see the value of such a wiki as a reader's advisory tool.

23 Things-Thing 13-del.icio.us

Looked at the tutorial on del.icio.us, and explored some of the sites and libraries using it.
...interesting from the social networking perspective--and fun. I wonder, though, about its
usefulness for research, especially among many library customers. The problem, here, as with all tagging, is that it simultaneously reflects both the collective wisdom of the crowd and the highly idiosyncratic thinking of individuals.
...a potential time saver...or minefield for customers!

23 Things-Thing 18-ZohoWriter

Set up an account in Zoho. A really nice, quick tool for writing. I moved my 23
Things Tracking Log there and was using Zoho to update it.
However, am having one heck of a time getting docs in Zoho posted to my blog.
Site is very sluggish and frustrating in this respect.

23 Things-Thing 19-Web 2.0-WuFoo

Found a great free tool for creating surveys and forms--WuFoo.
Could be very useful for Planning and Projects--and for others at BCPL!
