Right-oh, as usual it takes me longer than I think to get these test drives done and blog about them. I've decided to separate this test drive into the three areas and blog about each one individually and hopefully this means I won't get confused. Setting up my own del.icio.us account was easy and following the notes by Sharon Morris was great. Maybe I'm finally getting the hang of this.
I spent a fair amount of time bookmarking and tagging in delecious so that I could understand the concept. As with all other test drives we have accomplished the is always a way you could use this to help in the library. There are advantages in the easy access to information and having it all together under one heading. I played around with this for a while and it was simple. As a research tool I think it would be excellent as the amount of information available is mind blowing but you still have to sort through for what you want. I had a child doing an assignment on skiing in New Zealand so we bookmarked information together that was appropriate to her work and level. She has no computer at home so each time she comes in we can access all the information for her.
The hardest thing I find with all these test drives is not having anyone close to help when I'm having trouble. This means that all the clients are now invovled as I lean to them for help and discussion. I have leant that I am not the only person challenged by these tasks.
