Week 12 Muddiest Point

Why is there a fee to upgrade a wiki? Are there any preventive measure against spamming social tagging?

Week 12

The article on libraries and wikis was a good article. I like the idea and personally think it would be a good idea. The East Tennessee State library having a instructional program to walk students through their website is a excellent example of the benefits. The article also mention it's use in classroom instruction which makes things much easier for both student and instructor. The social tagging article was also brilliant,storing bookmarks in other places online is convenient. I believe libraries would benefit from this tremendously.Jimmy Wales is a very smart individual and very well organized. Wikipedia is currently one of the top online encyclopedias. I usually use wikipedia to obtain general information on a subject,then do my own research from there.

Week 11

The article on digital libraries explains itself and was very simple to understand to me.The illustration of the links were really helpful. The Dewey meets Turing article was interesting because it discussed the digital libraries initiative. Librarians,computer scientists and publishers definitely benefited from this. What I did not know is that google was given birth through this initiative. As the traditional library was affected by this program, it also assisted librarians by better assisting the public.The article on institutional repositories was also interesting ,I think that this is very important concerning scholarly communication.

Week 10 Readings

I have never heard of the deep web until reading this article. The deep web is 500 times more vast than the regular web. I think this interesting and very useful, especially involving research. Since the deep web is more direct in searching, it is even more beneficial.The quality is evidently superior than the regular web. After reading the article, I learned some elements about search engines that i did not know. One in particular is bright planet technology which seems to be great for research and advanced in technology. I also did not know that JSTOR would be considered as a deep website, but I guess it would make sense. JSTOR is for academic research. So the next time I do research, I will try some of the websites listed as deep websites. I am sure the websites will be very beneficial.
