Reading Notes for 11/1

Developing and Re-imagining library....
I wonder why the GSU Library didn't expect things to be disorganized and inconsistent with multiple people working separately. But I guess hindsight is always 20/20. It was interesting to hear that the librarians have the option of tagging in CMS. Reading the article made me glad I won't be doing this type of stuff.

The Try It Yourself HTML was fun to play around with. I had to click back often to see what to do. CSS looked more difficult. The Introduction said you should already have some basic knowledge of HTML or XHTML. Something which I lack, even after reading and playing with HTML first. I love having clear and easy examples; thank you W3School.

Muddiest Point 10/25

I have no muddiest point this week. I was really interested to learn about the difference between the Internet and WWW. I have been using the words interchangeably.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page on Google
I liked the video on Google, especially the awesome visual of the world with the colored lights! I almost cried from laughing so hard about Las Ketchup, my friend used to be in love with that song. It was really interesting that Google lives by a 20% rule; that employees can do what they want for a small portion of the time. The guys are great presenters and entertaining.

Dismantling Intergrated Library Systems
The issue of interoperability seems to be a big one everywhere. And like everything, money is an issue. I think that libraries should embrace new technologies but I know that it is hard for them because of funding and budgets.

How the Internet Infrastructure Works
It is so interesting to see how something that I use everyday works. When I turn on a computer and get on the web I never think about what is going on. This article was pretty long and some things are still over my head. However, I know way more than I used to.

Fasttrack Muddiest Point

Could you explain the use of P2P in regards to librarthing.com please?
