I took a look at some library wikis and blogs. I checked a few examples to get started: SJCPL Subject Guides, Library Success: A best practices wiki, and further explored Book Lovers Wiki..
I am now creating a blog post about my findings.
Book Lovers wiki from Princeton Public Library is very informative. It has a list of FAQ about this wiki and our Book Lovers Summer Reading Club, a review of diverse genres, a collaborative and recognition page for wiki contributors.
The Pbwiki community can actively interact, post blogs. Booklovers need to log in with a password to proceed. You can also log in with your PBwiki Identity. Well, I had to create an account, another one!!!! That’s what I paid for being curious and and wanting to experiment with posting to this wiki. I could create my PB wiki. To be totally honest, I did not create my wiki. I got some experience with creating and editing a wiki in my Information Retrieval class in MLIS school, where we created a wiki of the most current search engines.
This was a good enough learning experience.
Cheers!

September 12 - 19, 2007
What I learned this week:
I took a great idea from Elizabeth McKenty, and posted a list of fellow bloggers to my blog page. The good part is that I could "copy and paste" from her blog page on to mine! This list is very useful because you just click on any of the names, and are taken right to their blog page!
I feel I am, perhaps not in the very formal order required by the contract, learning so many things! I now feel very comfortable posting new messages, checking other people blogs, even signing up to mine and remebering my user ID and password. Practice makes perfection.
Now I have to work on a rss feed so I am "notified" when the new content is posted.

kids blog
This is Laurie Knodle, on her visit to local schools to announce SRP.This week I opened an account with RF YS blog.
http://dbpcosdcsgt.co.san-diego.ca.us/screens/KIDS/blogs.htm
I am now a contributor to RF kids blog. I have been experimenting with this site, as part of my Web 2.0 learning experience. There are some secrets about how and where to send/post messages to, and who, and where these messages can be viewd by.
I even posted a picture of myself, not to remain anonymous.
So, when you visit RF kids blog, you will be reading my messages. I am a liason between County and non-County employees (Guild) working at RF.
Have a nice day!

Hello,
This is my third week experimenting with Web2.0. Now I want to create a card and share it with my fellow bloggers.
I'll try, and let you know soon.
Greetings!

Hello fellow bloggers,
I welcome the opportunity of exploring the Web 2.0, and the new technologies dealing with Learning 2.0 Challenge. I am passionate about exploring new Technologies, probably out of the fear of being left behind. This is a way to stay young, expand our minds, be able to talk the same language teens and youngsters talk. Nowadays, not being knowledgeable of the emerging technologies on the web is a handicap, just like not being able to speak a language. Let’s trespass the barrier and learn a new language!
This is a total new manner of communicating with each other. We either use the new web 2.0 tools or we will be technology illiterate.
What I would like to share with my group:
Fears: Not having the time to fully commit to this learning process. Being bombarded by participants’ new posts and having to skim through every day.
Commitment: this is not just about getting trained, but also learning, and sharing information with our coworkers who, due to different circumstances do not have the opportunity to participate in this program. I also feel committed to lifelong learning.
The fun part: self-discovery and the fun of working together.
Relief: having the possibility of anonymously posting on the web, until we feel more comfortable with the new technology.
Key words (my new vocabulary): blog, RSS, Blogger, Flickr, Odeo, YouTube, PBWiki & Bloglines.
