]]> Comment on About this Blog by Jill Coelho http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/hcl20/2007/05/04/welcome/comment-page-1/#comment-14 Jill Coelho Wed, 30 May 2007 18:23:39 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/hcl20/2007/05/04/welcome/#comment-14 Thanks for opening this cornucopia and/or can of worms! The idea is a splendid one. The following comments are after a very brief glance at the blog, and after reading the meeting handout. My first suggestion is that you link to definitions of terms like "social bookmarking", etc. By Googling, I found the definition (Educause has a good one, with examples. Now I have to go explore del.icio.us.) The entry for "mashup" does contain a definition, but links to other definitions and examples will make the blog even more interesting and useful. If you ever wonder which words the old folks don't know, check with me. Other terms that I don't know offhand, or wonder about: "social functionality", Camtasia, Wink. I looked up the last two, which led me to wonder how they work, how one gets them downloaded (aka firewall issues), if they're worth exploring, etc. Next suggestion: Have some links, somewhere, to HCL 2.0. How about on the HCL Intranet? If it's already there, forgive me. I did search it, and couldn't find it. Good thing there were handouts. That may be part of the reason there's not a lot of action on the blog. Thanks again. Thanks for opening this cornucopia and/or can of worms! The idea is a splendid one.

This is a great idea and I hope it will offer us opportunities to talk across departments about issues we all discuss separately. There's much here that reference librarians have been talking about and it's very good to know we're all in the dialog together. Beth, Enrique, Jen, Al, and Karen – Thank you!

Later this summer the Countway Library of Medicine will be launching such a site here within Harvard. Currently you can see an example of such an approach at Stanford's Lane Medical Library: http://lane.stanford.edu/index.html.
