थे सर्च फॉर बूक्मोबिले ब्रौघ्त उप लोटस ऑफ़ लिंक्स टू ब्लोग्बुक्स.
That should say something about how searching for 'bookmobile' on Technorati
retrieved blogs about books, and probably doesn't.
I thought I'd play around with the transliteration function as the Hindi characters are so pretty.
Apologies if I've written obscenities.
I couldn't find my own blog on an advanced search but did read about Alberto Manguel's
library and followed the link to the photograph on Classical Bookworm . My search words were
library, libraries, France.

Tagging, folksonomies, del.icio.us and LibraryThing
I like the link to the Library of Congress subject headings - The Cataloging Distribution Service.
Have added some bookmarks to del.icio.us.
Joined LibraryThing and read through Creepy reqests from library patrons.
And Getting more patrons into a book discussion from Librarians who LibraryThing.
I'd hate anyone to think I was a Librarian who doesn't read.

Videos online
It was interesting to explore YouTube and Google Videos, and to watch some
of the Mosman Library webcasts.
I envisage a link on the library web page to a video showing how to locate an
item on the shelf using the catalogue and the explaining the classification system ;
Maybe like the CommonCraft videos.

Wikis
Desperately trying to keep up with the programme. Having looked at Library Success and Book Lovers Wiki I can see how useful Wikis are in the library environment. I selected another RSS from Library Success - FRBR blog. No prizes for guessing my main occupation at the library.
At first I found adding to the Wiki complicated - should I edit, create a new page, with a heading or not, or comment.

RSS
Setting up an RSS aggregator: Bloglines didn't send a verification email. Will try Google Reader.
Day 2 on RSS
Still no email from Bloglines so I have now registered with Google Reader and selected Food
and Technology from their list.
I also subscribed to a feed from the ALA RSS list and TEAR Australia.
I added the Powerhouse Museum RSS by copying and pasting the URL to my reader, which worked.
This section of Learning 2.0 is definitely more challenging than earlier ones.
