October 10:
o.k. I am twittering. I understand the concept but I don;t like that you have to have people to twitter to. It could be great for an instant message system. I think I need to still play with this one some more.

Shelfari
In Exploration 5, I decided to try out Shelfari. It seemed to be more user friendly and I heard in from my fellow LATIers that it was a favorite. It seemed pretty straight forward and then I added it to my blog. I even managed to tag a few of my books and mark them as favorites.
I have never kept track of my reading in written form before, so I might actually try this out. Normally, I believe that reading is for fun and when you track it and keep a log, then you are making it work. However, so many people I have met in this job, keep some sort of log, so I will try.
In the library, it could be used to track what we are all reading and make recommendations. Possible for storytime type activities or book club recommendations.
System wide, it could be used for patrons to see what we like to read. Our staff recommends hear at the library was very popular and I was amazed to see how many times I had to choose more books for the display. That also proved to be a situation where a list of books that I have read would have come in handy as I scoured the stacks looking for books to put on the diplay.
