Yes I do use a social cataloguing website.

      I use Good reads.

2. What do you think are the pros and cons of social cataloguing from a library perspective?

I think that social cataloguing is a great way for people to share their favorite books. It is also a great way for people to find book they might like to read. Unfortunately there is practically no standardization with in social cataloguing. Social cataloguing also allows unorthodox ways of spelling.

This would be more user friendly for the patrons. This would also be more helpful in finding book that the patrons are looking for.

I’m not really sure if I will use social bookmarking. If I did start, I would use social bookmarking to save website that are important to my schooling (EX the Library of congress website, OWL Purdue)

Social book marking would allow libraries to share website that could benefit them, or the needs of their patrons.

Pod Cast FAQ

1- Which library podcast did you listen to?

Adventures in Library Instruction

2- Why did you choose this podcast?

I chose this pod cast because it was very informative.

3- What was the focus of the podcast and who was it geared towards? (Ex: was it about library instruction, library policies, popular books, etc...? Was it geared towards school library staff, academic library staff, public library staff, or library patrons?)

This pod cast was focused on what it’s like to work as a library instructor. I would say this pod cast was geared towards people who work in the libraries or for people who are looking into working in libraries.

4- Did you enjoy the podcast? Why or why not?

I wouldn’t say this was my favorite pod cast. Adventure in library instruction was informative but a little boring.
