Finally!

Hopefully I'm finally successful in embedding a YouTube video into my blog. I went to bed last night past 1am upset and frustrated because I could not embed this video. But I was back at it this morning and I think I accomplished this one simple goal!!! Enjoy!

Tagging

I managed to tag close to 50 records since my last post. I honestly thought I would have tagged 120 records by now but since I stop to review the selections I lot longer than I should I have more to go than I hoped. So far I have only made tags within Connotea and del.icious the latter being my favorite as of now. For some reason when I add to Connotea a have to type in a code and still the particular addition is quarantined. This has happened at least 4 times so right now I have qualms with Connotea. As for Zotero I plan to start a library within the next couple of days.

Buggin' Out

Nothing to really share expect a major compliant; my computer has been buggin' out. Needless to say, I've been reading the tutorial print outs for Zotero, WorldCat, Connotea, del.icious and Zoho which all were very helpful. Hopefully, I will be able to finish some more tagging tonight and maybe my next blog will be a bit more encouraging.

Ready, Set and Slow

Today I completed my readings for DC 2009 for up to this week. My thoughts of DC 2009 are pretty positive being that in my opinion chapters 1-6 appear to be informative and useful. Since the readings I've discovered that I knew even less about computers, than I thought. Even though I have heard terms such as motherboards, RAM, ROM, CPU, MHz/GHz etc., after the readings I have a better view of computers. Its funny that after about chapter 4, I had thoughts of building my own computer (wishful thinking). Another, interesting aspect so far was the lecture with Sir Tim Berners-Lee ( the 45 mins. I did view). However my most sophisticated accomplishments for LIS 2600 so far was my long awaited success of downloading Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer (don't laugh) and last but not least my enlightenment of del.icious. Because frankly before my enlightenment I had no clue about del.icious, tagging etc. (pitiful I know), anyhow after all my downloads I went to del.icious and discovered all my tags, in which, I had no idea I had tagged. My new found tags were, of course, my many mozilla downloads. I think I'm really going to appreciate this class. So for now, I'm going to stop this tech talk and finish tagging.

Point of no return within LIS 2600

Well here I am imagining the enormous tech knowledge I will possess after completing this course. My overwhelming goal is to complete this course and gain competent knowledge in order to help library patrons understand and conquer the tech revolution. But, just like most of my challenging learning experiences, I have, to take baby steps however come August 1, 2008 I plan to be at least a confident techie. With that said, let the tech info and assignments challenge me.
