#6 Social Bookmarking

15 Billion Web Pages! Wow, no wonder we all feel unorganized. Let's see now, Delicious can organize them, then sort by tags (old school =LC/Sears subject headings). The we can all share sites that have been discovered by others with the same interests. I am feeling a little job insecurity here!

Away from the Icebergs and A tempory place in time.....

(What ever floats your boat etc.)
At a Librarians workshop 15 years ago, the speaker said we HAVE to become more user friendly or be blown out of the water! (I wish I could remember his name.) It's all about packaging and now, no training necessary.
The time of a new mindset and expectations is here. The old concept of a traditional Library has faded into the sunset or sunk to the bottom of the sea in this story.
I liked the idea of harnessing users in the design and implementation of services. Smooth talkin', and practical.
Library 4D is mind boggling. The Garden of Eden of Libraries??? I think not! Technology is ever changing, so will be user needs. A knowledge spa, meditation, and relaxation, bring it on!
