#46 keeping up

Great use of Zoho by Jamie on the PLMC blog to keep up to date with tools that are constantly changing I can see we will need to be regularly checking for updates or it will get messy. Which tool do you go with?. Do you change when they do? Can you move information over if they close ? Will you lose information? ( backups backups) I like the use of the very tools we explored "zoho" to maintain currency
I see in the update that Google have added something similar to librarything to Google books but without the social aspect, the emphasis is on research not socialising although the tags and personal libraries are accessible to others.
Just an interesting aside, Kingston library have incorporated" library thing" into their public catalogue good on them, worth watching to see how the community use it.
I decided to check out one of my favourites web 2.0 tools Zotero (really useful research tool only available with Firefox browser) and yes, updates were available it now can search, upload ,link export and take snapshots of flickr ,you tube pages as well as many other formats and provide a wider range of citations. You can snap shot a web page see it within the tool highlight sections and add side notes just as you would to hard copy.

#11 Me organised?

Library thing is interesting but I realise that many of the books that I choose to keep are unlisted or very obscure. Only those that are relatively recent have covers some I simply did not find and will require a hunt in the usual suspects. Antiquarian bookshops etc. Not much point in listing library books that will go back to where they belong.
