Here is the link to my delicious account - http://www.delicious.com/linda.cockburn. It contains lots of links to favourite recipes I have collected over time. I find this a lot quicker to my access favourite recipes than just making them favourites in my browser also this way I can share them with friends and family and they can also add to there favourites as well.
We are building a new library at Cockburn and have just finished refurbishing an older branch and we used delicious to record all the relevant websites we find for suppliers, other library experiences and sites on new library projects.
LibraryThing is a great tool for keeping a record of what you have been reading and also discovering what others are reading as well and the reviews they publish. Here is the link to my LibraryThing catalogue -
http://www.librarything.com/catalog/Linda.cockburn.
At Cockburn we subscribe to an interface for LibraryThing which is embedded in our catalogue. Once a month we export all our new records to LibraryThing which creates a link in our catalogue so that our library members can click on a title that takes them to the LibraryThing website where they can read reviews and use the genre clouds to find similar titles. There are also clouds embedded in our catalogue that link to titles within our collection.
I hadn't thought of using it for recipes. That's a great idea. I only got as far as considering it's uses as a work tool.
ReplyDeleteThats really cool!
ReplyDeleteLinda you put it so succinctly.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is a make-up comment to fulfill the quota since what I had commented in doing all the lesson seemed to have lost mysteriously! You certainly have the library interest in the application of the Delicious and LibraryThing! Well done...Hope this comment will not go astrayed again.
ReplyDeletewow, you have a heap of recipies in your delicious list! I get concerned about the webpages I bookmark disappearing, so I will save screenshots into a folder on my desktop sometimes. They will be lost to me anyhow next time my computer dies a death!
ReplyDeletegood idea about the recipes
ReplyDeleteAll our posts during the course have been about how we can see libraries using these technologies..so it's great to hear about one that has been set up. I am intrigued!
