Hello all, I am very interested in talking to some librarians who want to use social networking and tagging tools to gather information from colleagues. I am writing up a proof-of-concept idea (not a project yet) about how to solicit information from colleagues about the content of printed books that are written in languages we cannot read (either Roman alphabet or non-Roman alphabets). The idea is to scan covers and TOCs and put them up on a site for comments. Of course, copyright is a big issue of course. If anybody has an interest in this topic, please contact me. Thanks!

Pru reported then on a proof of concept project looking at collecting resources to enhance the edna collection (www.edna.edu.au ) via del.icio.us bookmarks. This project has grown into a funded development of a tool to collect user contributed resources and metadata, including tags. We have also now implemented the Myedna project see www.me.edu.au and it is planned that the tagging capacities of that will be enhanced, and results fed into the edna resources collection. We would be very interested to hear of any similar work that others are doing and would be happy to talk about ours further with anyone interested. We will prepare something that can be presented as a standalone or by another colleague who may be attending.

The program for the DC conference in Germany is shaping up and it is time to decide what to do about tagging. We have had two very good sessions at previous conferences and I would like to invite proposals from you for the forthcoming conference. If you can send short notes of what you would like to present, that would be a great help. At the previous conferences, we have been able to accommodate short presentations of interest from people who themselves have not been able to attend the conference. Hopefully we can do this again this year. I'd like proposals by the end of April, please. Anyone who wishes can also use the tagging list to discuss proposals, ideas, projects, etc - please take advantage of this opportunity.
