Lecture material 30th Jan – knowledge management
From libraries to labratories Monday, Jan 29 2007
libraries 2:04 am
are traditional libraries going to embrace ‘the future of information storage’ or be left behind? This is the main question of this article, which explores different ways to store and retrieve data. Stement: institutions need repostitories and someone has to manage them’ and; for the time being parties involved are concentrating on the mass customization of academic knowledge. ie. repository-based services, ex; personal news feeds, refereed portals and overlay journals.
Enterprise 2.0 article Monday, Jan 29 2007
enterprise2.0 1:08 am
Very practicle article – subheading gave further information about the internet processes such as blogging, tagging, explined it all very well and wouldlbebhelpful in evavluating systems (if I ever needed to do that!). By simply defining terms but then putting them in a real life context, this article succeeds where others have just been dry dissertations.Key ideas: “Authoring creates content; links and tags knit it together; and search, extensions, tags and signals make emergent structures and patterns in the content visble. and help epole stay on top of it all.”
Organisation blogs article Monday, Jan 29 2007
IP 1:03 am
The level of understanding expected from the Mary for this course is well demonstrated in this article. This is not at a stage 2 level – but much higher. Sigh.
This article talks about blogs from an organisation/relationship perspective. Issues of IP (its Ok to blog but don’t say anything that will break any confidentiality rules). Obvious statements of the benefits of communication between organisations and clients, and the strengthening of relationships as a result. Blogs were further defined into corporate, organisational and knowledge categories.

political voice 12:38 am
Really interestng and raised more questions for me than it answered. I think there are so many other considerations than whether politics engages young people(YP). For example, when talking about giving young people ‘real power’ – what does that mean? One of my main thoughts is that, with so much information available about just about anything, how are YP going to be able to distinguish between whats important and whats not? In days gone by, the most important issue was probably the on they heard the most about and it must have been easier to focus on ‘what needed to be done” Also, the harshness of life affected them much more directly – like being hungry, or losing parents to the war – could it be said that life for YP is now much less harsh – so then if this is true, the impetus for action and change is less? The comment that YP have no sense of the history or pagentry for democracy – not their fault – it is up to the previous generation to explain and instill. ALso will blogging and interaction lead to physical (as opposed to the virtual) action, or will the process of blogging and interacting be ‘enough’, or satisfy the need to be heard? YP need to feel that they can be listened to, ie – be reflexive, but is democracy and reflexivity mutually exclusive?

lecture 12:27 am
Enjoyed it more than previously – class discussion may seem to be following some peoples agendas (as someone has blogged0 but I think its valuable. Learning about the internet along the way, so it all good.

lecture 2:22 am
Thank goodness today was a lot better. Felt sorry for Mary tho’ – this must have come out of left field for her, and she looked a bit shocked, but she handled it well. The only way to get the best out of this course is to interact, interject and ask questions until you get the answer you need. If others in the class don’t like how much I’m talking, then they can talk more! People were more active today – Mary set aside her agenda (good for her) and I think we saw more of ‘who Mary is” as well.
‘Blogging’ reading Monday, Jan 22 2007
blogs 5:20 am
OMG, why are we reading this now and not before we started to blog? Lots of anecdotes, and interesting. Last comments especially – whilst bloggers know that thier ‘private’ thoughts are/can be read by millions, they are not interested in that and actually prefer just a few real contacts to communicate with. Easy to read.

Offline vs online identities: how are they different/how are they similar/how do they influence each other/how does the ‘personality’ show thru (even when you don’t want it to?)/how does personality express itself. Will use the book on how eBay was ‘born’ and developed as my main reference, in particular will look at the emergence onlne of strong personalities who helped shape eBay’s online communities, and then were so important to eBay that they were physically employed BY eBay.
