Hi All
You maybe interested in checking out this new encyclopedia, which is a similar concept to Wikipedia and covers science related topics. It is very much in its infancy and needs to be further populated, so a chance for some experts in the field to become involved. It is called Scholarpedia:
http://scholarpedia.org/
From the introduction-
Scholarpedia, the free peer reviewed encyclopedia written by scholars from all around the world.
Scholarpedia feels and looks like Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Indeed, both are powered by the same program - MediaWiki. Both allow visitors to review and modify articles simply by clicking on the edit this article link.
However, Scholarpedia differs from Wikipedia in some very important ways:
Each article is written by an expert (invited or elected by the public).
Each article is anonymously peer reviewed to ensure accurate and reliable information.
Each article has a curator - typically its author -- who is responsible for its content.
Any modification of the article needs to be approved by the curator before it appears in the final, approved version

15 minutes a day
Hi
I have been trying Kathryn's 15 minutes a day to getting things done. I can add that this is great for adding a posts, but I may need to make it 30 minutes a day to be able to read a few entries.
Cheers

How to use Web 2.0 in your library
Hi
I have just read a great little book that I thought I should share with you.
How to use Web 2.0 in your library / Phil Bradley.
London : Facet Publishing, 2007.
It was easy to read and covered a wide range of technologies such as weblogs, start pages, instant messagingsearch engines, tagging, Flickr and more. For each of these technologies, there were suggestions for using the technology as part of the library service and a short list of useful web addresses.
I particulary liked the idea of the library photo tour (with accompanying voice). My team currently has a key objective to promote our library resources and this seemed like a great idea for advising students where specific subject areas are located and a visual snapshot of some new items in the area. We do have some general podcasts of the library, but the photo tour particularly appealed to me. I must be a visual person.
Read the book and want something online then you might find these addresses useful as Phil has made a spot where you can contribute.

Challenges and Opportunites: Peer Produced Knowledge and Australian Education
Hi
I am trying Kathryn's 15 minute a day trick to getting things done in Web 2.0. I cames across the following report, which I havn't read, but thought I would share it with you as the author is an interesting one and I did attend the Jimmy Wales seminar and this may be one ofthe papers. i shall catch up with it over the weekend.
*REPORT: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES: PEER-PRODUCED KNOWLEDGE AND AUSTRALIAN EDUCATION* This report, by Mark Pesce, reflects on the education.au 2007 seminar featuring Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia. Mark identifies three areas that present opportunities and challenges entitled: Control vs Chaos; Firewalls vs Freedom; and Staying Current vs Staying Present. Educators were encouraged to ponder the challenges and opportunities of peer-produced knowledge production.
