Although I have been a cataloger for two years, I know there is a big difference between cataloging and taxonomy. Especially as I understand taxonomy is more related to corporate world.

This should sever my notes as I reading through the book.

I will be attending the first conference calll next monday.

Here’s a link to the article from the IUPUI Scholar Works site. https://idea.iupui.edu:8443/dspace/handle/1805/953

I think I would like to participate in the learning.

What is 23 things?

I learned about 23 things at the beginning of this year when I was in the process of job hunting. I am very interested in learning more about Web2.0 technologies.

The original 23 Things was from Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenberg County. This program has inspired over 200 libraries to launch their own learning programs for learning Web2.0.

As I decided that I want to learn about screencasting software, I learned there are two great software in the world. Camtasia and Adobe Captivate. Our school has a license with Captivate so I asked our IT folks installed it on my computer. Today I installed Camtasia 5 on my personal pc. Before I really get into them, there are some reviews out there that I would like to read first.

• Camtasia vs. Captivate – This review is quite dated but it still has some valid points.
• Review: Adobe Captivate and TechSmith Camtasia Studio – A much more recent comparison but still a version behind for each product. Note here that the zoom feature mentioned in the review is now also available with the release of Captivate 2.0.
• Screencasting tools – Camtasia Studio vs Adobe Captivate

Let me finish them first and talk about my experience later since I just started using them.
