I gave Technorati a try I think I prefer Del.icio.us but I might have another play around on there later. I looked at tagging my posts using Technorati tags but it looked a bit too complicated for me. Something else to try later. I enjoyed reading the perspectives on Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of libraries. I thought Rick Anderson's Away from the "icebergs" was quite interesting and made some great points. His comments about reliance on user education and asking yourself what your library's "patron-to-librarian ratio is" really got me thinking. It really is impossible to train every library user so we need to make it easier for them to find the information they need. Personally I think UniSA Library's homepage and catalogue is great and quite user friendly especially when compared to some of the other Universities websites. Although there is always room for improvement and we have so much information and help to provide it sometimes creates its own barrier to patrons. I worry that some of the great help guides and information to help students can go missed because our patrons either do not know about them or do not know where to find them. But we cannot provide all the information on the homepage (obviously or the writing would have to be really little) there needs to be a balance.
I find the same problem when talking to students who need help that you have to find a balance that you do not give overload them with too much information.
