Week 6, Thing #15

As technology develops, so will our libraries continue to change and evolve. Once upon a time there was a paper card catalog and look at us today...Infocentre and beyond. As the technology immigrants demand more we must be poised to supply AND know what they are talking about. It is fun and exciting to discover new ways of delivering information. After reading the 5 perspectives, I realize that my work will never be done, my library will never be perfect...but I'll willing to try innovative ways to meet my student's needs...but isn't that what librarians-media specialists-teacher librarians have always done?

Week 6, Thing #14

After a tour around Technorati, I was able to find a great number of bloggers out there ready to discuss Governor Sarah Palin.

I don't see a great use for this application in research; however, some of the blog posts could generate great debates.
