Good post on blog, about networked students

Librarian by day, just postet this very interesting post, about the networked student, and I just wanted to share it with you all.

About reading for lesson 28/11

Hi,

I was trying to be a bit ahead, and would print all our reading at one time. I found out that the link for Ludvigsen, M (2008), was dead, but I managed to find the dissertation anyway here. And do remember that we only have to read pages 1-10 & 187-202!

Kristina's blogs to follow

According to the assignment, I have been browsing for library 2.0 blogs to follow, and they are as follows:

1. Librarian by day because it has Library 2.0 as a main subject, it is personal, I like the tone it is written in.
2. The annoyed librarian because is is a humorous approach to library and to the things that colour our every-day-life. :o)
3. The invisible library because it is a personal blog, with both topics of news, his own musings, open source.

I found the two first blogs using bloglines (maybe not directly, but that was the starting point...) and the last one i found using a plain google search "librarian blog".

I use Google reader to view my rss-feeds. :o)

Kristina's Web 2.0

I use a variety of web 2.0 applications i my daily life like: del.icio.us, iGoogle (where i also have link to my GoogleReader, politiken, Newz, the weather forecast, calender, notes and my del.icio.us account and at advanced searcher for the yellow pages (De gule sider)), Flickr, Instant messaging, Blog, Groups, Facebook, etc.

One of my bigtime favorites is Ravelry, which is at site for knitters, you have to get an approval to become a member of the site, so you have to send a description of why you would like to be a member, and then you maybe get accepted, just maybe. When you are a member there is a lot of tools you can use to keep track of your own knit-work, what yarn you have in your stash, what needles you are in the possession, but best of all, you can search other knitters works and see some of what they have knitted, and get their recepies and some of them are even freely avalible on the net or there are information on how to purchace the designs. Futhermore the have a cooporation with Flickr, so you can use the photos you have on flickr to show you knit-work. There are groups to different genres, countries, etc. and you can make favorites of both individual designs, designer, yarn, etc. It is in short words, heaven for at passionate knitter like me :o)
