Delicious, but not about cooking!

This week. You won't find anything about cooking in my blog but you will find something delicious. Delicious and Technorati are tagging sites which means that their content is categorised by users like you and me.

The future of Libraries...
Wow, reading some of the perspectives offered on the future of libraries and the role of Web 2.0 and Learning 2.0 made me really think about the role of librarians. Looks like I will have to stop cooking for my family and sit at my computer a lot more to get more educated and more comfortable with all of the emerging technologies that will contribute to the way users interact with libraries.

I just checked out the library thing web site. How interesting. You can catalogue your personal library. So... I made a start and added some of my personal cook books.
