Lesson 15 - reading

"Technology is put to the test: Does it meet the users need in a new or improved way? Does it create a useful service for putting users together with the information and experience they seek? These are some of the questions this librarian asks when planning for technology. This librarian creates and nurtures a living, breathing technology plan."
Yes. Great thoughts

And I liked this too - very appropriate with reader development. "Another key lesson that O’Reilly emphasizes is the notion that “users add value.” "

And, how did i live without the word 'meta' in my vocabulary - 'metadata' -well, it's been round for years; 'metacognition'- even older as I used it in the classrooms in the mid90's; BUT, I was glad to see a new one l(for me) last month - 'metafiction'; and I was even more pleased when I heard Margo Lanagan use it at Reading Matters conference. I'm just so metapleased.
