de.li.cious

I am thrilled - I finally get the whole "tagging" thing.  I had always stopped myself from fully understanding it before.  There is always "something" it seems to figure out and it can be overwhelming so I certainly filter.  This was something I had filtered.  I had heard of de.li.cious before but had never got my head around really using it.  I can see how this would be a great tool now.  First of all, I can save my bookmarks remotely (no need to find them at work versus at home), I don't need to worry about losing them (I have had computers die on me before never to be brought back), and at a very personal level, I can tag the sites as a way of organizing them for my own retrieval (I have in the last few years invested a lot of time in digitally organizing my "stuff" and moving right away from paper).  I know get the whole tagging in twitter also.  Yes, there is an element of chaos, and not something you would want to base your library organization on, but at least it gives a way to access info from the masses that we would otherwise never knew existed.

Collection

I have continued to work a lot on the assignment #2.  It has been challenging and enlightening.  While it has been a real struggle to figure out the MARC records, it has been a very useful exercise as I now feel like i understand them in a way I did not when I started.  It has been a lot of work though.

Assignment 2

I have been busy working away at assignment 2.  I have primarily been collecting resources and starting to put the information in MARC records.  I think I am starting to "get" it.  Once I have all of the resources chosen and the records created, I will start adding them to the website.  I think it is a case of needing to work backwards.
