Week 7: Tagging, folksonomies, del.icio.us and Library thing

This particular weeks exercise was definitely a little long, even though it was good to be able to delve into the various sites. There is a great potential for research here, I especially liked the ancestry site within the Sutherland's Shire Library, together with the listing of the audio bookshops of available materials. The Cleveland's library site of "Homework now" would be invaluable for students of all ages.

I think that the camel bookmobile of Kenya was truly delightful, within the technorata site. Only time restraints prevented me from spending a lot more with this exercise. As with several other part-time workers, we are severely limited with our time away from the desk, and the priority has to be given to our collection every week of the books and materials for our housebound borrowers.

I look forward to going forward to the next weeks surprises and challenges.
