The idea of having on-line apps like Google docs and Zoho makes sense, especially with mobility and access to open source apps becoming more convenient. The fact that you can collaborate with others in real time on a given document seems a great advantage to productivity. Maybe this is the future for the library network because it means accessibility to your work wherever you are at any time.
Claire also suggested this as a good way for customers to save their work when they have to quit from a library PC. I am about to try to post this to my blog. So if you are reading this in my blog, I have succeeded!!
LibraryThing was a very satisfying application to use. I loved the power of being able to add my little bit of content - specifically tags, reviews and ratings. It was very satisfying to add titles to my library and then see other readers' comments on them and also to see related content displayed which was of interest to me. I will definitely continue to use this.
I really like the idea of cloud tags linked with the library catalogue. It seems such a great tool that would open up a much easier and dynamic avenue for library users to search independently and to have the ability to feed directly into the content themselves. Often I find the catalogue frustrating because it doesn't feature the subject headings I would tend to use but which I would like to use to find material for my interests. And what a lot of bother I would have to go to in order to remedy this in our traditional library system. Cloud tags is the great solution to this problem.
