The Series includes a range of activities, from presentations to interactive workshops. It is our goal to provide the theoretical framework and practical skills that will enable us as an organization to begin incorporating MLibrary 2.0 concepts into our services.</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby/library_2.0' rel='tag'>library_2.0</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby'>pgstreby</a></p> Thu, 15 Nov 2007 03:48:07 -0000 http://www.google.com/intl/en/apis/gadgets/gs.html <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content"><p>Welcome to the Google Gadgets API!

This allows you to access these links from any computer with an Internet connection, making them easier to share than bookmarks or favorites saved on your computer’s hard drive. Social bookmarking tools also make it easier to categorize links and to find new sites that are recommended by people with similar interests. Some social bookmarking tools offer many additional features that are ideal for collaborative learning, allowing users to create groups and discussion forums and even call attention to specific webpage content with virtual “sticky notes” and highlights. However, many of these features have yet to be implemented in a refined and reliable way.</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby/library_2.0' rel='tag'>library_2.0</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby/social_bookmarking' rel='tag'>social_bookmarking</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby'>pgstreby</a></p> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:09:43 -0000 http://www.iddblog.org/?p=32 <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">Depending on where you stand, education is poised to be elevated into the sublime heights of effortless and ubiquitous real-time virtual interaction and connectivity, or about to be overrun by leering mountebanks as tech-bewitched apostates unbar and swing wide the sacred doors of academia.</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby/library_2.0' rel='tag'>library_2.0</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby'>pgstreby</a></p> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:37:46 -0000 http://www.iddblog.org/?p=10 <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">Daniel’s recent posts focused on social bookmarking tools, which use the power of social networking to help users find websites that suit their interests. On a similar note, I thought I’d share one of my favorite tools, <a href="http://www.librarything.com">LibraryThing</a>, which serves a similar purpose for books. For those not familiar with this resource, it is an online service that allows people to keep and share their favorite (or least favorite) books. A free account allows you to catalog up to 200 books. Paid accounts allow you to catalog as many as you wish and start at $10 for a year or just $25 for a lifetime!</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby/library_2.0' rel='tag'>library_2.0</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby'>pgstreby</a></p> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:35:19 -0000 http://www.iddblog.org/?p=9 <p></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby/library_2.0' rel='tag'>library_2.0</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby/social_bookmarking' rel='tag'>social_bookmarking</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/pgstreby'>pgstreby</a></p> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:33:17 -0000 http://www.wired.com/software/webservices/news/2007/11/open_social <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">Google is expect to announce a social networking platform later this week.
