#7 tagging

Have used delicious for slv chat, adding and editing. Think it would be good if we developed it for public use too, not just slvchat use. After all, if they are web sites we've assessed as valuable, authoritative and useful for online ref work, chances are the public would find them useful too, especially with our tagging. Interesting to see who else has saved the same sites and how they describe and tag them - could simply reuse some others' work!

#6 RSS feeds

Found this fairly tedious because the SLV system is so slow at the moment... Added feeds for a couple of my usual sites, ABC and The Age, then went hunting, using Feedster and Topix.net, the latter with better searching I thought. Feedster didn't seem to be distinguishing between blogs and news.

#5 wikis

managed to edit the slv desk wiki in IE OK - very easy. but did I edit in errors? who's checking?

Princeton Public Library's BookLovers Wiki is the type of thing SLV could have - clearly separate from the catalogue, especially useful for fiction which is so minimally catalogued, staff and interested members of the public able to contribute, and can be added to very quickly, as soon as a new book is published.

And fiction reviewing too avoids many of the usual qualms people have about wikis and credibility, since a review is clearly a matter of opinion, not fact.
