Thing #7 Tagging & Social Bookmarking

The Common Craft Video Social Bookmarking in Plain English was very helpful to me. His three main points were that social bookmarking is useful, fun, and not tied to one computer. Why recreate the wheel when there are other librarians out there who have tagged some great websites, booklists, etc. The video said to use key words when tagging and keep things simple! I need to spend some more time exploring some of these bookmarked websites for media clerks.

I liked the YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) booklist bookmark that was under the mediaclerks network.

I know that it is frustrating to sign up for so many accounts. We'll talk about some options. I have ONE account that I use for everything (Web 2.0 tools). Then I never forget it.

Ask Lynn for her method of keeping track of accounts and passwords. I thought it was ingenious!

In our class this week, we will concentrate on editing, and saving, photos/images for use online and offline.

Hopefully...we'll clear up any problems. Citrix is NOT our friend sometimes.

Having so many accounts is hard to track. I have a notebook with all my log ons listed. I also use only one password, that makes life easier. Don't give up, someof the things are easier than others.
