Comments on: Five Weeks to a Social Library: Highlights from Week 2 http://meredith.wolfwater.com/wordpress/2007/02/25/five-weeks-to-a-social-library-highlights-from-week-2/ A librarian, writer and tech geek reflecting on the profession and the tools we use to serve our patrons Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:59:34 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: informationatrix http://meredith.wolfwater.com/wordpress/2007/02/25/five-weeks-to-a-social-library-highlights-from-week-2/comment-page-1/#comment-163393 informationatrix Wed, 28 Feb 2007 14:28:26 +0000 http://meredith.wolfwater.com/wordpress/index.php/2007/02/25/five-weeks-to-a-social-library-highlights-from-week-2/#comment-163393 Meredith: I've been following the "Five Weeks" courses in fits and starts as I'm in the last semester of library school with 11 other credit hours...though I have to say it's usually hard to tear myself away from playing with del.ici.ous to pontificate about information transfer. And if it's about such high-level concept, it usually ends up as pontificating...I've yet to figure out how to tone it down. ;) Anyway, what I'm laboring to say is, you and Michelle (whose blogs I check regularly), Karen Coombs, Amanda Etches-Johnson, Ellyssa Kroski, Dorothea Salo, and all of the fantastic presenters are really "being the change you want to see," and it's truly inspiring. A sappy-sounding sentiment, maybe, but it's the truth. Keep up the good work ladies, and I hope to run into all of you when I actually (fingers crossed) get a job in the profession! Meredith:

That is a very good idea, especially since then you don't need to remember to back up your bookmarks from del.icio.us or any other single service. :) Hey Rick!

The course and the ideas generated by your participants is helping get my own library fired up about the implementation of social software. Thanks to you and all the collaborators for putting this course together. Meredith,

You can continue to use the service of your choice, but if one of them drops out of site, the other has the data ready for use or export.
