#15 library 2.0 and web 2.o
This section took alot of reading. It was very interesting though. I agree that libraries need to cooperate, and collaborate on integrating collections and services to survive. In the release lightweight services section I was unaware of all the services that make it easy to sydicate data, services and systems to be remixed- It looks like OCLC is very much looking into new various ways to keep libraries vital. In the- to a temporary place in time, the evolution of the library was very informative and interesting. It boggles my mind of how fast the technology affects the library and society itself. I can't even phanthom the changes we and the community in which we serve will have to adapt to in the future. It is scary in a way but you always have to look forward if libraries as a whole want to play a vital role in the future.

I read about tagging, #13. As it said, many of the best parts of del.icio.us don't require an account, I did not make one. Quite frankly, I can't keep straight all the other accounts I have set up for the prior steps. I read all the data and scoped out some of the tags. Believe me, I am not being negative just honest. I am really learning and have never had a need to do all these things, but it is good to know about them if I ever have one. I'm just a really private person. I do see a need for someone or some incidents that would require to have tags. It is a great tool to connect your home computer with your work computer. I also see it for a great resource for sharing information especially for those who enjoy doing that, or is helpful in their line of work.

Commenting on 7 1/2 habits
I viewed the 7 1/2 habits. I believe that to be a lifelong learner you do need to be open to new experiences and keep a positive attitude. I liked how it pointed out that writing out a contract helps you keep a goal in mind. The contract to me also assists you on your journey to achieve a positive outcome . But, as a final comment and constructive point of view, the format that 7 1/2 habits was given was a little slow and could have been more upbeat to hold your attention.
