Views from Eye Level and the London Eye

Today our emphasis was on architecture and unusual shots of buildings from various angles. We visited Westminster Abbey and spent quite a while taking pictures of the exterior. Then we had a tour of the inside of the building, which is even more ornate than the outside. There are quite a few famous people buried here, including Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, Queen Elizabeth I, Edward the Confessor, and many more. Our ground level shots took up much of the morning and early afternoon. Then we headed over to the London Eye for a bird's eye view of the city. Riding on the Eye is like being inside a giant bubble floating high above the town. Next we headed across town to see Wicked, the story of Oz before Dorothy arrives. The singing and costumes were wonderful. There were so many people in the theater! We had a great time.

Thank you!

That sounds like excellent advice.

Once again, thank you for taking the time out of your pre-graduation hectic schedule to help me with my Web 2.0 paper.

Have a great summer!

To Sum It Up

Destiny sounds like a pretty neat program. Another feature I like about Amazon is the way once you order a book, they recommend other books for you based on your choices. Sometimes it almost seems like they're reading your mind!

We've come to the end of my list, so my final question is going to be the same one my detectives ask a witness when they're taking a statement: Is there anything you can think of you would like to add that may be important that I haven't thought to ask you?

I have enjoyed blogging with you very much. Thank you for all your insights.

Public Library 2.0

I like the way you think. I was just thinking about how many individual e-mail accounts, Facebook, etc., that I have to try to remember to check every day (in addition to the class Blackboard site). It would be so much easier to have everything at one's fingertips in one place. And I'm glad every time I hear someone say we are in no danger of losing our books.

In my classification class we examined social tagging and reader generated reviews such as those available at Amazon.com. Do you foresee this type of Library 2.0 approach ever becoming part of the OPAC for either the school or public library? Is this an inevitable trend?

The Future of Web 2.0

Plymouth uses quite an impressive variety of Web 2.0 tools already, but once you get Moodle up and running, are there any other technologies you would like to add to your library's repertoire?

And what do you envision may happen in the future? What do you think Web 3.0 might be like? Do you foresee a time when Internet communication will come to replace a physical library building and books?
