NSW Public Library - Week 7b

I searched Technorati for bookmobile and received 516 results. When I performed an advanced search for the same term I received 532 results.

I also searched for nswpln2008 and it took a bit of fiddling but I finally got some search results. I looked through the search results which ranged from Flickr photos to videoclips and wiki's.
There weren't as many results as I expected, but it was good to get some.

Technorati is not what I consider the most user friendly site and I don't really like it, mainly because of all the advertising, but the concept of the site and its overall purpose it quite good.

NSW Public Library - Week 7a

Del.icio.us - I created my account a little while ago and have been adding links ever since, in a library environment I can see this as being incredibly useful as it allows favourite/useful pages to be tagged and accessed from any computer.
No longer will staff access the favourites on a computer only to find that the sites they want have not been added. They will just access del.icio.us from any computer and all the sites will be there.

I think in the future research assistants will be able to make use of tools like del.icio.us and tags clouds to gather together sources without spending hours trolling the internet. Searching and locating information will be faster and research assistants with superior search skills will have more resources than they know what to do with.

This is a link to my delicious which I keep adding to, but finding the time to get back to the tagged pages is proving a little difficult. But at least I know they are there when I have time.
